Remarkable Creatures: Epic Adventures in the Search for the Origins of Species – Sean B Caroll
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.
This book tells the stories of the most dramatic adventures and important discoveries in two centuries of natural history – from Alexander von Humboldt’s epic journeys in South America to the hi-tech genome-reading projects making headlines today – and how they gave birth to and have nourished the evolution revolution.
