Summary
The Sea-Change: The Worldwide Hunt for the Ancestors of Animals is about one of the most absorbing puzzles in the whole of science: how the earliest animals lived, and what they looked like. These questions have haunted biology for two centuries because the facts seem to challenge its central dogma, the theory of evolution by natural selection.

Graham Bell
Emeritus Professor, McGill University
Graham Bell is an evolutionary biologist with three main research interests: understanding the mechanism of natural selection, interpreting the main features of life cycles, and explaining the maintenance of biodiversity. His lab has investigated major issues in the mechanism of adaptation, using laboratory cultures of microbes to study evolution in real time. He has recently turned to investigating the evolutionary consequences of global change, especially the adaptation of plants to elevated carbon dioxide and the evolutionary rescue of stressed populations.
