This book is part of the Evolution Project, a co-production of the WGBH/NOVA Science Unit and Clear Blue Sky Productions. The project also includes a seven-part television series, a Web site, a multimedia library, and an educational outreach program. It has been an honor and a pleasure to be involved with so many talented people on such a large enterprise. Special thanks to Paul G. Allen and Jody Patton at Clear Blue Sky Productions for their inspiring vision for and generous support of the Evolution Project, and to Paula Apsell of the WGBH/NOVA Science Unit for guiding its development. I am grateful to them for bringing me aboard.

Richard Hutton, the executive producer of the television series, reined in the unruly science of evolutionary biology to create seven compelling episodes, consulted with dozens of leading scientists, oversaw a production staff traveling around the world, and yet always had time to chat with me about the fine points of the Cretaceous-Tertiary mass extinctions or Charles Darwin’s family life. I thank him for his leadership and intellectual companionship. To shape the editorial structure of the series, Richard worked with NOVA senior editor Steve Lyons, series science editor Joe Levine, and associate producer Tina Nguyen. I particularly want to thank Joe for many insightful e-mail exchanges, and Tina for helping me track down various chunks of information, no matter how esoteric.
