N2  - This book presents the phenomenon of evolutionary radiation, as seen in the fossil record. The author explores its causes through the analysis of concrete examples using current and past paleontological data, which have contributed to the recognition and later analysis of these phenomena of diversification. The book serves as an effective introduction to the phenomena of diversification of life, for a broader audience interested in science in general and paleontology in particular, but also for university students who can benefit from the explanations and ruminations about these issues of diversification in the biological world, and of how that issue is approached in paleontology.
