About This Item
New York, NY, U.S.A.: W. W. Norton & Company, Incorporated, 1992. Trade Paperback. Fine. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Were dinosaurs really dumber than lizards? Why, after all, are roughly the same number of men and women born into the world? What led the famous Dr. Down to his theory of mongolism, and its racists residue? What do the panda's magical "thumb" and the sea turtle's perilous migration tell us about imperfections that prove the evolutionary rule? The wonders and mysteries of evolutionary biology are elegantly explored in these and other essays by the celebrated natural history writer Stephen Jay Gould. 343 pages..
