A Geographical History Of Mammals (1896)

A Geographical History of Mammals is a book written by Richard Lydekker and published in 1896. The book is a comprehensive study of the distribution and evolution of mammals across the globe. It is divided into four parts, each focusing on a different region of the world: the Nearctic region (North America), the Palaearctic region (Europe, Asia, and North Africa), the Ethiopian region (Africa south of the Sahara), and the Oriental region (South and Southeast Asia, including India and the Malay Archipelago).The book provides a detailed account of the different mammalian species that inhabit each region, including their physical characteristics, behavior, and habitat. It also explores the historical and geological factors that have influenced the evolution and distribution of these animals.Lydekker's work is considered to be one of the most important contributions to the field of mammalian biogeography. It provides a valuable insight into the diversity and distribution of mammals across the world and is still referenced by scientists and researchers today. The book is a must-read for anyone interested in the study of mammals, their evolution, and their role in the natural world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
