The Oligocene and Miocene epochs saw the foundations of modern-day mammal groups. Adaptations of the jaw, teeth, skull, limbs, and other traits led to mammals that were better adapted for every mode of life. This book explains how mammals and birds increased their footprint to dominate the Earth, and how they evolved to present-day form.
