Description
Bright, unexpected, and thrilling audiobook.
An engaging and accessible account of forty cutting-edge discoveries made by scientists in the field of evolution and natural selection.
Why don’t all rams have big horns? What have we learned about our mutations in 15 years of the genomic era? Why do the smartest guppy fish choose the most beautiful males as partners? How do Neanderthal genes affect our health? What kind of reproduction is better from an evolutionary standpoint: sexual or asexual? Why is sexual reproduction needed in the first place? What is “genetic hitchhiking”? Why does the beak shape of Galápagos finches change? How does the difference in “evolutionary interests” create the ground for conflict between the sexes? This audiobook clearly and excitingly tells you about the results of forty of the most interesting new research studies in evolution and natural selection. These astonishing discoveries let you look at the diversity of life around us in a completely different way, learn many incredible facts, and understand how the world became the way we know it—and in what direction it continues to change.
