How
could
life
have
started
on
Earth
and
how
did
it
proceed?
After
a
short
discussion
on
the
origin
of
life
on
Earth
and
the
origin
of
the
major
body
plans
the
invertebrates
are
presented
in
the
order
of
increasing
complexity
by
the
most
significant
fossil
representatives.
In
each
case,
the
adaptive
significance
of
the
respective
forms
and/or
structures
which
more
or
less
profoundly
changed
the
original
body
plan
is
treated
in
detail.
In
the
closing
chapter,
some
general
aspects
of
invertebrates
in
evolution
and
palaeoecology,
palaeobiogeography
and
biochronology
are
outlined.
