Winner of the 1991 Science Book Prize, a lively book on evolution that reads like a detective story. Jumping off from the story of the strange fossils found in the Burgess Shale, Gould looks at the debates that have raged round evolutionary theory. (Kirkus UK)
'A masterpiece of analysis and imagination. . . It centres on a sensation al discovery in the field of palaeontology - the existence, in the Bur gess Shale. . . of 530-million-year-old fossils unique in age, preservat ion and diversity. . . With skill and passion, Gould takes this mute coll ection of fossils and makes them speak to us. The result challenges s ome of our most cherished self-perceptions and urges a fundamental re-assessment of our place in the history of life on earth' Sunday Times.
