Calling the collection a humanist's natural history of evolutionary essays, Gould (1941-2002), one of the best known American scientists of the 20th century, looks at art and science, biographies in evolution, human prehistory, of history and toleration, evolutionary facts and theories, and different perceptions of common truths. Among specific topics are a seahorse for all races, our unusual unity, the dodo in the Caucus race, non-overlapping magisterial, and the triumph of root-heads. The book was first published by Harmony Books. Belknap Press is an imprint of Harvard University Press. Annotation ©2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
