ISBN: 9780198502562Oxford University Press | 01 January 1998Hardback | 242 pagesWe live on a wonderful planet that not only teams with life, but shows a marvellous exuberance of form and variety. From condors crossing tropical storms at altitude as high as 6000 meters, to microscopic bacteria living many kilometers below the Earth's crust, life is pervasive. No one yetknow the precise total of species that presently inhabit the Earth, nor how many once existed but are now extinct, but the total must run into many millions. Within such a vast array of life, it is perhaps surprising that only one species, ourselves, is able to understand and to invistigate itsorigins. because we are in so many ways different from any other life form that has evolved on Earth, how do we know that our origins and history can be traced here, rather than as extra-terrestrial immigrants? The reason is simple: our evolutionary pedigree is stamped on every feature of ourfaces and bodies, and by looking at the fossil record, we can trace our progress back to the primitive fish who first evolved limbs and the basic brain structure that is our inheritance today. In this book, renowed palaeontolgist Simon Conway Morris explores how a single unit of rock, locatedin the west of Canada, and known as the Burgess Shale, has placed the history of life in a new set of contexts and so by implication has shed new light on our place in the scheme of evolution. He takes us through the fantastic discoveries of hithe ...

ISBN10: 0198502567, ISBN13: 9780198502562, [publisher: Oxford University Press] Hardcover In The Crucible of Creation, paleontologist Simon Conway Morris describes the marvelous finds of the Burgess Shale--a fantastically rich deposit of bizarre and bewildering Cambrian fossils, located in Western Canada.Conway Morris is one of the few paleontologists ever to explore the Burgess Shale, having been involved in the dig since 1972, and thus he is an ideal guide to this amazing discovery. Indeed, he provides a complete overview of this remarkable find, ranging from an informative, basic discussionof the origins of life and animals on earth, to a colorful description of Charles Walcott's discovery of the Burgess Shale and of the painstaking scientific work that went on there (as well as in Burgess collections held at Harvard and the Smithsonian), to an account of similar fossil finds inGreenland and in China. The heart of the book is an imaginative trip in a time machine, back to the Cambrian seas, where the reader sees first-hand the remarkable diversity of life as it existed then. And perhaps most important, Conway Morris examines the lessons to be learned from the BurgessShale, especially as they apply to modern evolutionary thinking. In particular, he critiques the ideas of Stephen Jay Gould, whose best-selling book Wonderful Life drew on Conway Morris's Burgess Shale work. The author takes a fresh look at the evidence and draws quite different conclu ...
