The Age of Mammals: In Europe, Asia and North America is a book written by Henry Fairfield Osborn and first published in 1921. The book is a comprehensive study of the evolution and development of mammals in these three continents during the Cenozoic era, which began around 65 million years ago and continues to the present day. Osborn, who was a renowned paleontologist and the president of the American Museum of Natural History at the time of writing, covers a wide range of topics in the book, including the origins of mammals, their diversification and adaptation to different environments, and their interactions with other species. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which focuses on a particular period in the evolution of mammals. Osborn provides detailed descriptions of the various mammalian groups, such as primates, carnivores, ungulates, and rodents, and discusses their anatomical and behavioral characteristics. In addition to his scientific analysis, Osborn also includes vivid illustrations and photographs of fossils and living mammals, as well as maps and diagrams to help readers understand the geographical and temporal context of his research. Overall, The Age of Mammals: In Europe, Asia and North America is an important work of paleontology that provides a comprehensive overview of the evolution of mammals in these three continents. It is still widely read and cited by researchers in the field today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
