Millions of years ago, an asteroid hit the Earth, marking the beginning of the end for the dinosaurs. It also opened the door for primates to become the dominant lifeform, and as this engrossing book for readers 5 and up discusses, humanity has overcome many challenges along the way. Introducing the basics of evolution, Catherine Barr and Steve Williams make a whirlwind tour of breakthroughs in science and social justice, while Amy Husband uses paint and collage to chronicle the human story in a way that is visually striking yet historically accurate.
