Owen's work was a key influence on the development of evolutionary theory, and this book is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of science.

Owen was the founder of the Natural History Museum, bringing the collections over from the British Museum. Although he was a supporter of evolutionary theory, he was reluctant to accept Darwin's version of evolution. This volume examines fossil evidence for change in species over time.
