Restless Creatures The Story of Life

Despite the overwhelming diversity of life on earth, one theme hasdominated its evolution: the apparently simple act of moving from one place toanother.

Restless Creatures is the first book for a generalaudience telling the incredible story of locomotion in human and animalevolution. Evolutionary biologist Matt Wilkinson traces this 4-billion-yearhistory, showing why our ancestors became two-legged, how movement explains whywe have opposable thumbs and a backbone, how fish fins became limbs, how eventrees are locomotion-obsessed, and how movement has shaped our minds as well asour bodies. He explains why there are no flying monkeys or biological wheels,how dinosaurs took to the air, how Mexican waves were the making of the animalkingdom, and why moving can make us feel good.

Restless Creatures opens up an astonishing new perspective -that little in evolution makes sense unless in the light of movement.
