At the Water's Edge : Fish with Fingers, Whales with Legs, and How Life Came Ashore but Then Went Back to Sea
by Carl Zimmer

About This Book
This book explores the evolutionary transitions that allowed animals to move between aquatic and terrestrial environments.
Carl Zimmer examines fossil evidence and modern biology to explain how fins became limbs and how some land animals returned to the sea.
The narrative connects paleontology, genetics, and developmental biology to show the deep history of these adaptations.
