Re: The Story of Life in 25 Fossils by Donald R. Prothero
I've finished reading the entire book. Agree with both your posts. The Charnia is certainly interesting. It kind of makes you wonder if mother nature was trying out a system for an efficient method of transferring nutrients within an organism. I like Prothero's style. I've mainly been reading up on ...

Re: The Story of Life in 25 Fossils by Donald R. Prothero
Yes, a good account of cave symbols, where they are at, and how often they occur. I was surprised that over a 30 thousand year period 32 of these symbols re-occur over and over. It gives one the impression that over several millennia, folks were dealing with a similar idea. If it has it fault, it's ...
