The evolution of the animal egg is the dramatic subplot missing in many accounts of how life on Earth came to be. Yet, quite simply, without this strange biological phenomenon, animals as we know them, including us, could not have evolved and flourished. In Infinite Life, Jules Howard explores the story of animal evolution from the perspective of the egg, shedding light on how these curious genetic vessels have shaped life on our planet for more than 1,000 million years, changing and adapting as they go.
Jules Howard is a zoology correspondent, author, science-writer and broadcaster. He is a regular writer for The Guardian, Slate and Science Focus magazine and appears often on BBC Radio. Jules' popular non-fiction books include the award-winning Wonderdog (2022), and Death on Earth (2016), which was shortlisted for the Royal Society of Biology book award.

“If you can read this, thank a teacher” So runs a favorite t-shirt slogan. This book inspires me to coin a variant: “If you understand why you exist and rejoice in that understanding, thank a science teacher.” More specifically, thank a teacher of evolution." - From foreward by Richard Dawkins
