Aquagenesis
New York: Viking, 2001. first edition. hardcover. 8vo. 304pp. from front flap: "For the first hundreds of millions of years, the only living creatures on earth were, in fact, underwater. Then, some 350 million years ago, for reasons unknown, a primitive vertebrate crawled out of the water and stayed out. Richard Ellis, one of America's foremost authorities on ocean life, now takes on the deep mysteries of evolution in the sea, tracing the path from the first microbes to jawless, finless creatures that became the myriad species alive today, including sharks, whales, seals, penguins, dolphins--and us."
