Infinite Life by Jules Howard

Infinite Life by Jules Howard

Each animal on the planet owes its existence to one very simple but crucial piece of evolutionary engineering: the egg. Its time to tell a new story of life on Earth.

‘A startlingly beautiful exploration of evolution’s crucibles of creation’ Rebecca Wragg Sykes, author of Kindred

 

‘Mind-bending in the best possible ways … a joy to read’ Helen Scales, author of The Brilliant Abyss

‘One of my favourite science writers’ Lucy Cooke, author of Bitch: A Revolutionary Guide to Sex, Evolution and the Female Animal
