Our lineage includes saber-toothed tigers, woolly mammoths, armadillos the size of cars, bears three times heavier than a grizzly bear, intelligent rodents that outlived \u003cem\u003eTyrannosaurus rex\u003c\/em\u003e , and other types of humans, such as Neanderthals. In fact, humanity and many of the lovable mammals with whom we share the planet today—lions, whales, dogs—represent only a fraction of the survivors of a vast and astonishing family tree that has been pruned by time and mass extinctions. But the burning question is: how exactly did we get here?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eIn his acclaimed bestseller * \u003cem\u003eThe Rise and Fall of the Dinosaurs\u003c\/em\u003e *—called \"the definitive biography of dinosaurs\" by \u003cem\u003eScientific American\u003c\/em\u003e —American paleontologist Steve Brusatte captivated readers with his research. Now, revisiting the extinction event that doomed \u003cem\u003eT. rex\u003c\/em\u003e and its ilk, the author explores the remarkable history of mammals and brilliantly reveals their fascinating and complex trajectory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e From the earliest days of our lineage, some 325 million years ago, Brusatte shows how mammals survived the asteroid that wiped out the dinosaurs and conquered the world, evolving into the surprisingly diverse array of animals that dominate Earth today. The story of the lost worlds mammals have inhabited over time comes to life through the detective work the paleontologist and other scientists, using fossil clues and cutting-edge technology, performed to reconstruct the evolution of our ancestors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eAn excellent work of popular science, \u003cem\u003eThe Rise and Reign of Mammals\u003c\/em\u003e illustrates how this incredible story formed the foundation for today's world, for us, and for our future.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e “ \u003cem\u003eThe Rise and Reign of Mammals\u003c\/em\u003e is nothing less than a thriller that reveals the fortunes, evolutionary twists and near-apocalyptic catastrophes that led to today's mammals, including us.” – \u003cem\u003eThe Guardian\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e \"An excellent narrative.
