Life Before Man


Zdenek V. Spinar, Zdenek Burian

This is an introduction to the panorama of life on Earth, from its earliest beginnings more than 3000 million years ago to the arrival of Homo sapiens and the introduction of settled farming, 5000 years ago. The text is accompanied by a sequence of over 160 specially commissioned illustrations, showing the conditions on Earth in its early days and the strange animal life that once roamed its surface or moved in its seas.

Burian is an excellent illustrator of prehistoric life. This is a catalog of many of his paintings.
