Remarkable Creatures: Epic Adventures in the Search for the Origins of Species – Sean B Caroll

Posted on January 23rd, 2010 by Jarvis in History, Non-Fiction, Reference, Science

Leading molecular Biologist and geneticist Author Sean B. Carroll’s book Remarkable Creatures: Epic Adventures in the Search for the Origins of Species chronicles the exploits of a group of explorers who walked where no one had walked, saw what no one had seen, and thought what no one else had thought. Their achievements sparked a revolution that changed  forever our perception of the living world and our place in it

In 1809, when Darwin was born, much of the world was an unexplored wilderness. Our knowledge of the past was nonexistent, and our picture of our species’ history little more than a set of fantastic myths and fairytales.
