Same No Ago Wa Tobidashi-Shiki Shinka Jun Ni Miru Jintai De Arawasu Ugokumonozukan [Pictorial Book That Shows the Human Body in the Order Of Evolution]

About this book

Language: Japanese

The sequel to Kame no Kōra wa Abarabone: Jintai de Arawasu Ugokumonozukan, which was released in December 2019 and attracted a lot of attention in various places. The illustrations here show the structure of the animal's body by deforming illustrations of the human body, as was done in the previous work. In this work, you will follow animal evolution through time, starting with fish such as sharks, which have hardly changed their appearance for hundreds of millions of years. It continues to amphibians, reptiles, dinosaurs, birds and mammals. It imagines what the human body would look like if it had to be transformed to resemble these animals, showing which structures would have to change. An extra chapter shows whole-body deformation comparisons to attempt to see what happens if the whole body is deformed instead of a part. This is the second book in this popular series that teaches readers not only how animal bodies work, but also how evolution proceeded.
