Dazzling work, passionate and magisterial. Nothing of more lasting importance than the core narrative of this book will be published this year - Guardian (Guardian)
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.
