Flaws of Nature (Hardcover)
Language: English
Published by The History Press Ltd, Stroud, 2023
ISBN 10: 1803990171 ISBN 13: 9781803990170
Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. This book is about evolution, but not its greatest hits. Consider that an elephant will not grow a seventh set of teeth, even though wearing down the sixth will condemn it to starvation; that male mandarin ducks sport bright-orange feathers that attract not just females but also predators; and as for whales Whales are fully aquatic mammals who, millions of years after first abandoning the land, still cannot breathe underwater. Packed with anecdotes and curious facts, Why Cant Whales Breathe Underwater? explores everything in the animal kingdom that is self-defeating, ill-made, uneconomical or downright weird and explains how natural selection has favoured it. In the grand struggle for survival, some surprising patterns emerge: animals are always slightly out-of-date; inefficiency tends to increase over time; predators usually lose and parasites usually win. With equal parts humour and scientific insight, Andy Dobson is here to explain the how and why of evolutions greatest mistakes. AUTHOR: After a first-class degree in Ecology from Durham, Andy Dobson completed a PhD at Nottingham, before joining the University of Oxford's Zoology Department. Most recently, he took up a research post at Edinburgh University to apply data-science techniques to anti-poaching efforts. He is currently a freelance scientific copy-editor, and remains a Visiting Academic at Edinburgh. 12 b/w illustrations A smart and accessible look at the myriad ways in which evolution doesnt get things nearly as right as we imagine Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Hardback. Condition: New. Species evolve over time to become perfectly adapted to their environments, right?{::} Well, sometimes. Consider that an elephant will not grow a seventh set of teeth, even though wearing down the sixth will condemn it to starvation; that hosts of the European cuckoo seem unable to tell that the overgrown monster in their nest is not their own chick; and that whales are fully aquatic mammals who, millions of years after first abandoning the land, still cannot breathe underwater.This book is about evolution, but not its greatest hits. Instead, it explores everything in the animal kingdom that is self-defeating, ill-made, uneconomical, or downright weird - and explains how natural selection has favoured it. In the grand struggle for survival, some surprising patterns emerge: animals are always slightly out-of-date; inefficiency tends to increase over time; predators usually lose, and parasites usually win. With equal parts humour and scientific insight, Andy Dobson is here to explain the how and why of evolution's limits and liabilities.

Flaws of Nature
Seller: Postscript Books, Newton Abbot, DEVON, United Kingdom
Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Hardcover. Condition: New. Across the animal kingdom are numerous examples of what appear to evolutionary imperfections, such as birds unable to spot a cuckoo chick in their nest, or whales having to surface for air despite millions of years living under water. As he explores some of these quirks of nature, ecologist Andy Dobson offers comprehensive explanations of the behaviour and conditions that underpin them.
