Words and pictures describe how different life forms adapt to the earth’s different environmental conditions. Readers will find sections that summarize Darwin’s theory of natural selection, Mendel’s genetic classification, the twentieth-century discovery of DNA, the parts and functions of plants and animals, and the ways in which all life forms fit into the earth’s ecosystem.
