Shell, Beak, Tusk: Shared Traits and the Wonders of Adaptation

We think of evolution as a tree with branches that make clear, linear senseâ€”with one animal and its traits clearly derived from one that came before it genetically. But what about animals who share key traitsÂ but arenâ€™t on the same family tree? This is called convergent evolution, and itâ€™s the big idea that Bridget Heos tackles in a kid-friendly way in Shell, Beak, Tusk.Â

From mammals to reptiles, and everything in between, Heos manages to make some intriguing comparisonsâ€”and bring to life theories of evolution and convergent
evolution in bite-sized, easily digested chunks of fun facts, illustrated with full-color photography throughout.
