Publisher's Synopsis
Scientist Dougal Nixon presents an array of imaginary animals in this voyage of evolutionary discovery, speculating on what might have happened if the meteorite had missed the Earth 65 million years ago, if the climate had not irreversibly changed, the sun been obscured and the vegetation destroyed and if the dinosaurs and other great reptiles of the Mesazoic era had not disappeared but had continued to evolve.;Dougal Dixon has also written "After Man: A Zoology of the Future".
