La Vie est belle:Les Surprises de l'évolution by Stephen Jay Gould

5.0

Wonderful book. It was sometimes hard to follow, but I made the effort and fount it very rewarding: I find myself still thinking about it weeks later. The core message -human life is but an accident- is so freeing. I read updates on the Burgess Schale (skimmed through Wikipedia) and I probably shouldn't have because it did defeat the carefully constructed theory; but I believe the main point is still valid.
