The book of marine biologist Danna Stof is devoted to a topic that is not given too much attention in popular science literature, namely the evolution and biology of unique marine invertebrates - cephalopods. These creatures, which appeared at the dawn of multicellular life, gave rise to many different forms, gained a dominant position in the ancient seas, survived several mass extinctions, including the Great Permian extinction, which claimed the lives of 96% of marine animal species, and have survived to date in the form of such smart, complexly organized animals as octopuses, squid and cuttlefish. The evolutionary history of cephalopods is considered in close connection with the development of many other creatures, including their eternal enemies - fish and, later, marine mammals. In his narrative, the author cites a lot of paleontological data, talks about scientific mysteries and often conflicting hypotheses, discusses the reasons for the extinction of ammonoids and the successful evolution of coleoids and nautiloids.
