Description
The Darwin Awards Next Evolution: Chlorinating the Gene Pool This humorous book explores the extremes of human behavior, highlighting the often-comical consequences of our species' survival instincts gone awry. Wendy Northcutt's witty observations and insightful essays shed light on the fascinating, if sometimes disturbing, ways in which humans can fail to follow the rules of survival. Fully illustrated with over 100 new examples, this book delves into the science behind these remarkable (and sometimes mortifying) feats, featuring contributions from guest writers and answers to frequently asked questions about evolution in action. By examining the Darwin Awards, we gain a unique perspective on the ongoing evolution of our species, and the sometimes surprising ways in which we continue to improve our gene pool.
