Changing Life on Earth
(from the Sci-Hi: Life Science series, Set 2 of 2)

‘Changing Life on Earth’ takes a look at how and why species slowly change over time. You will learn about Charles Darwin’s theory of natural selection. The book also supplies intriguing evidence (such as the fossil record) that supports Darwin’s theory, and explains Stephen Jay Gould’s updated theory that picks up where Darwin left off. Sci-Hi is an engaging, comprehensive, and visually stimulating series that takes learning core curriculum to a whole new level.
