Four-legged arthropods

Viac o knihe

The book explores the evolutionary journey of arthropods, highlighting a significant reduction in leg numbers over time. It defines legs as limbs used for support and movement, noting that mantises are considered four-legged rather than the typical six-legged classification. The author predicts the emergence of two-legged arthropods in the future, alongside existing four-legged species, as a new class evolves from Insecta. This transformation is attributed to increasing gravity on Earth, influencing the adaptation and diversification of arthropod forms.
