Krátky popis
Why do giraffes have such long necks? Why are zebras striped? Why
are buffalo herds broadly democratic while elephants prefer
dictatorships? What explains the architectural brilliance of the
termite mound or the complications of the hyena's sex life? And why
have honey-badgers evolved to be one of nature's most efficient
agents of mass destruction? Deploying the latest scientific
research and his own extensive observations on the African
savannah, Léo Grasset offers some answers to these and many other
intriguing questions. Having shown that natural phenomena are
rarely simple and that often they get more complex the more you
look at them, he brings to bear a mix of evolutionary biology and
lateral thinking to explain the mysteries of animal behaviour in
terms that are simple but never simplifying. He ends by considering
how our origins in the savannah and evolution as the hybrid of
several species can shapes our habits. Léo Grasset is one of
France's brightest young natural scientists. Prepare to be
fascinated, delighted, surprised, shocked and, above all,
entertained by his brilliantly original Darwinian Just So stories.
