Description
The Incredible Unlikeliness of Being Evolution and the Making of Us by Alice M. Roberts is a fascinating account of how our bodies came to be. From the earliest stages of human development to the present day, Roberts explores the incredible journey that has shaped us into the complex, living beings we are.
Using the latest research, Roberts uncovers the evolutionary history hidden in all of us, from the secrets found in our embryos and genes to those visible in our anatomy. This is a tale of discovery, revealing the unlikely chain of events that has left a lasting mark on our species.
With a lightness of touch that is both witty and personal, Roberts brings us closer to our own story, one that connects us with our distant ancestors and the millions of years of evolution that have shaped us into the people we are today.
