September 2019 edition: The Evolution of Life

Go time-travelling with our September issue, 'The Evolution of Life'!

Ready to discover some of the weirdest creatures that EVER lived? We'll meet human-sized scorpions, ghostly sharks, the alien-looking opabinia, vegetarian crocs (yes, really!) and, of course, the platypus, an evolutionary oddball with the fur of an otter, bill of a duck, and the tail of a beaver!

But what does evolution mean? Why are there no more apes turning into humans? How did the dodo become extinct? And how will animals cope with climate change?
