"The Puzzle of Life and How It Has Been Put Together" by Arthur Nicols is a scientific publication written in the late 19th century. This work aims to provide a concise history of the Earth's formation, exploring various aspects of geological, botanical, and zoological development from its earliest times, with a particular focus on the existence of prehistoric life. The book appears to be targeted primarily at young readers, likely aiming to foster interest in and understanding of Earth sciences. The opening of the book introduces the concept of the Earth as a complex puzzle that has evolved over time, establishing foundational questions regarding the planet's formation and changes throughout history. Nicols characterizes different layers of the Earth and discusses how fossils, unearthed through various natural and human activities, provide insights into prehistoric life and contribute to our understanding of the planet's evolution. He emphasizes the importance of observation in geology and concludes by inviting readers to explore how living beings, including humans, eventually emerged from a long lineage of life on Earth.
