Horseshoe Crabs and Velvet Worms: The Story of the Animals and Plants That Time Has Left Behind by Richard Fortey

3.0

An excellent foray into biological history- the living facsimiles of ancient phyla for starters, then delving into the survivors of various mass extinctions (in fact, it was originally published as Survivors in Great Britain). A bit on the drier side of popular science books, but still fascinating.
