Krátky popis
Humans are mammals. Most of us appreciate that at some level. But
what does it mean for us to have more in common with a horse and an
elephant than we do with a parrot, snake or frog?After a
misdirected football left new father Liam Drew clutching a uniquely
mammalian part of his anatomy, he decided to find out
more.Considering himself as a mammal first and a human second, Liam
delves into ancient biological history to understand what it means
to be mammalian. In his humorous and engaging style, Liam explores
the different characteristics that distinguish mammals from other
types of animals. He charts the evolution of milk, warm blood and
burgeoning brains, and examines the emergence of sophisticated
teeth, exquisite ears, and elaborate reproductive biology, plus a
host of other mammalian innovations.Entwined are tales of
zoological peculiarities and reflections on how being a mammal has
shaped the author's life. I, Mammal is a history of mammals and
their ancestors and of how science came to grasp mammalian
evolution. And in celebrating our mammalian-ness, Liam Drew binds
us a little more tightly to the five and a half thousand other
species of mammal on this planet and reveals the deep roots of many
traits humans hold dear.
