This book is the first of its kind, providing in-depth analysis
of the retrograde evolution occurring during major extinction
periods. The text offers a non-strictly adaptative explanation of
repetition of phyla after the major extinctions, utilizing a
study of seven phylogenetically distinct groups. This opens a new
experimental field in evolutionary biology with the possibility
of reconstructing ancestral forms in lab by applying artificial
stresses.
