Dazzling work, passionate and magisterial. Nothing of more lasting importance than the core narrative of this book will be published this year - Guardian (Guardian)
From the Back Cover
As well as containing the operating instructions for everyday existence, DNA contains a vast and detailed history of the three-billion-year development of life on Earth. In The Making of the Fittest, Sean B. Carroll pinpoints the precise changes that have enabled Earth's creatures to inhabit the planet's shifting environments, from the freezing waters of the Antarctic to the lush canopy of the rainforest.
The Making of the Fittest continues the quest to better understand the living world for a new generation. By delving deep in the DNA record, Carroll reveals not just how the fittest survive but also how they are made.

Hardback. Condition: Fair. DNA evidence not only solves crimes-in Sean Carroll's hands it will now end the Evolution Wars. DNA is the genetic material that defines us as individuals. Over the last two decades, it has emerged as a powerful tool for solving crimes and determining guilt and innocence. But, very recently, an important new aspect of DNA has been revealed-it contains a detailed record of evolution. That is, DNA is a living chronicle of how the marvelous creatures that inhabit our planet have adapted to its many environments, from the freezing waters of the Antarctic to the lush canopy of the rain forest. In this highly accessible narrative, Sean Carroll guides the general listener on a tour of the massive DNA record of three billion years of evolution to see how the fittest are made. And what an eye-opening tour it is-one that features immortal genes, fossil genes, and genes that bear the scars of past battles with horrible diseases. This book clinches the case for evolution beyond any reasonable doubt. Seller Inventory # 00110426526
