The Darwin Awards Next Evolution by Wendy Northcutt

The Darwin Awards Next Evolution by Wendy Northcutt

The hilarious New York Times bestselling phenomenon and the perfect funny gift! 

New York Times bestselling author Wendy Northcutt is back, asking, Have we evolved at all? The answer: Not all of us.

What crazy cocktail of DNA leads Homo sapiens to do pull-ups off the edge of a seventh-floor balcony or wrap their lips around a paintball gun and pull the trigger? How about offering a beer to a bear or self-testing a Taser? Why not go joyriding in a shopping cart strapped to an SUV or jump a drawbridge on a bicycle?

Fully illustrated with over a hundred new jaw-dropping and side-splitting feats of stupidity--and including science essays by guest writers and answers to FAQs about evolution in action--The Darwin Awards Next Evolution continues the tradition of honoring the victims of appallingly poor survival instinct who selflessly improve our gene pool by removing themselves from it.

Wendy Northcutt, a molecular biology graduate of UC Berkeley, began collecting the stories that make up the Darwin Awards in 1993. Her award-winning humor website, www.DarwinAwards.com, is one of the most visited on the Internet. USA Today, The Wall Street Journal, Entertainment Weekly, and NPR's All Things Considered have all featured the Darwin Awards. Wendy is the author of The Darwin Awards: Evolution in Action, The Darwin Awards 2: Unnatural Selection, The Darwin Awards 3: Survival of the Fittest, The Darwin Awards 4: Intelligent Design, The Darwin Awards: Next Evolution, and The Darwin Awards: Countdown to Extinction, all of which have become international bestsellers.
