Molecular phylogenies provide a genealogical backdrop for interpreting the evolutionary histories of many other types of biological traits (anatomical, behavioral, ecological, physiological, biochemical, and even geographical). Guiding readers on a natural history tour along dozens of evolutionary pathways, the author describes how creatures ranging from microbes to elephants came to possess their current phenotypes.\"--Jacket."}, "latest_revision": 5, "revision": 5, "created": {"type": "/type/datetime", "value": "2009-12-11T10:15:22.490469"}, "last_modified": {"type": "/type/datetime", "value": "2026-01-29T04:38:21.408988"}}
