A review by librariann
Life: The First Four Billion Years: The Story of Life from the Big Bang to the Evolution of Humans by Martin Jenkins

4.0

A worthy successor to my other favorite to recommend history of life book, Evolving Planet, which was published alongside the Field Museum exhibit but which is growing ever-so-much-more dated with each passing year.

It's a lot to parse, with no punches pulled on scientific terminology. A rich place to start an exploration, whether kid or adult.
