Description

A Deep Natural History of the Indian Subcontinent

Few places have been as influential as the Indian subcontinet in shaping the course of life on Earth. Yet its evolution has remained largely unchronicled. This book fills the gap. From the oldest rocks, formed three billion years ago in Karnataka, to the arrival of our ancestors 50,000 years ago on the the banks of the Indus, the author meticulously sifts through wide-ranging scientific disciplines and through the layers of earth to tell us the story of India, filled with a variety of fierce reptiles, fantastic dinosaurs, gargantuan mammals and amazing plants.
