Overview

How did life start on Earth and how did it proceed? After a short discussion of the origin of life on Earth and the origin of the major body plans, the invertebrates are presented in order of increasing complexity by the most significant fossil representatives. In each case, the adaptive significance of the respective forms and/or structures which profoundly changed the original body plan is treated in detail. In the closing chapter, some general aspects of invertebrates in evolution and palaeoecology, palaeobiogeography and biochronology are outlined.
