It’s very nice to get the full picture of how such a ubiquitous group of animals got to where they are now. However to get the full picture it does feel like we don’t quite get to know stories in their full depth - but then again maybe the scientific community doesn’t either.
There’s a tendency to spend a lot of time on the big names and only fully describe the teeth of every other player. That being said, it’s an incredibly riveting and interesting book that I enjoyed reading in just a few sessions.
