Flaws of Nature by Andy Dobson
A smart and accessible look at the myriad ways in which evolution doesnt get things nearly as right as we imagine‘A delightful exploration of the diversity of life and the shortcomings of evolution’ Dave Goulson, author of A Sting in the Tale and Silent Earth
‘A lively, entertaining and highly readable account of natural selection in all its quirky glory.’ Nessa Carey, author of The Epigenetics Revolution and Junk DNA
‘A wonderful read – witty and profound, this book upends the usual way of thinking about evolution, instead highlighting the flaws, dead ends and downright nastiness that natural selection produces as it goes on its aimless and morally neutral way.’ E.J. Milner-Gulland, Tasso Leventis Professor of Biodiversity, University of Oxford
