28 September 1996

Early Vertebrates by Philippe Janvier (Oxford, £75, ISBN 0 19 854047 7)
takes up the equally problematic next chapter in the story. Fossil discoveries
are revolutionising our view of fishy beginnings more than 470 million years ago
and their role in the evolution of the tetrapods.
