Choose Your Own Evolution by Jules Howard

From £14.99

Learn about evolution through a ‘choose your own adventure’ type book from Howard, who asks readers to choose between options such as trying out their sea legs, or surfing on slime. At the start of the book you, the reader, are a Dickinsonia and little more than a blog, and you must choose your evolutionary path wisely. Make the right choices and you will evolve to become one of the animals we know today; but make the wrong ones and you could become something now extinct.

About The Book

Evolution as you’ve never seen it before! An incredible pick-your-own-path adventure through the story of life on Earth.

Think of an animal, any animal at all. It could be a shark, a squid, a snail, or even a human like you! Every single animal has a secret history. A death-defying adventure that has happened across millions of years, called evolution.

On every page, you will discover a new animal with its own exciting story to tell. It’s up to YOU to make the decisions that will lead to their next evolutionary step. Can you survive to the present-day or will you face extinction along the way? Will you grow a backbone, take to the skies, or dive deeper for your dinner? For the first time ever, the journey is in your hands . . .

This unique book features ferociously funny and brilliantly accessible science from zoologist, author and TV presenter Jules Howard. Meet chimpanzees and chickens, Tyrannosaurus rexes and tigers, with over 50 different animal endings to discover.

The perfect introduction to the awe-inspiring story of life on Earth.

Reading age: 7+
