Improbable Destinies: Fate, Chance, and the Future of Evolution

With a combination of comedy and insight, author Jonathan Losos reveals the latest breakthroughs in evolutionary biology and what they mean to society. Losos uses a variety of different species, from guppies to foxes, to show that evolution is surprisingly predictable. Using many of his own stories of capturing lizards in the field, he examines thought-provoking predictive possibilities and shows how things like eyes and wings evolved independently many times.
