About the author and the book
B. F. Sergeev,
Doctor of Biological Sciences, is a specialist in the area of evolutionary and ecological physiology, he studies the development of living organisms on Earth, from the most primitive forms to man, and how contemporary animals adapted to the most diverse conditions of existence. Many amazing creatures have been studied in his laboratory: sea anemones and planaria, lancelets and bats, crabs, lampreys, lizards, dolphins and chimpanzees.
He is particularly interested in amphibians, the first vertebrates to adapt to life on land. This book discusses what interesting creatures they are, and what remarkable adjustments they had to develop in adaptation to the environment.
