"Animals of the Past" by Frederic Lucas is a fascinating overview of the world of extinct vertebrate animals. Prior to the emergence of scientific disciplines such as paleontology and comparative anatomy, people already knew that some species had disappeared completely. The term "extinction" originally referred to something else entirely, but it wasn't until 1784 that it was used to describe the eradication of a species. In this work, Lucas provides an informative and insightful look into the world of animals that no longer exist, offering readers a glimpse into the rich and diverse history of the animal kingdom."
