"Fossils have not always been easily understood - there have been doubts about what they are and what they mean, and at times their very existence has threatened the prevailing views of the origins of life and the age of the Earth. Building on the latest scientific understanding, Keith Thomson places fossils in a very human context, highlighting their impact on mythology, philosophy, our concept of time, and popular culture. This Very Short Introduction provides a remarkably all encompassing explanation of fossils as a phenomenon."--Jacket.
