The Ant and the Peacock

Altruism and Sexual Selection from Darwin to Today

Omschrijving

This book explains two puzzles of the theory of natural selection, the altruism of the ant, and that concerning sexual selection, epitomized by the peacock's flamboyant and burdensome tail. Helena Cronin's account blends history, science and philosophy in a gripping tale that is scholarly, entertaining and eminently readable.
