Description

Unnatural Selection explores how evolution plays out in selective breeding, revealing a grander scale that encompasses all life on Earth. Katrina van Grouw's unique fusion of art, science, and history sheds light on the evolutionary principles governing both wild and domesticated animals.

The book features over 400 breathtaking illustrations of living animals, skeletons, and historical specimens, showcasing how identical traits can occur in various species and how change happens rapidly in domesticated animals. By examining these examples, van Grouw explains evolution by building on Darwin's analogy between selective breeding and natural selection.
