Description

What do Alien and a crustacean larva have in common? And the pharmacy symbol with the Medina worm? Or octopi with Blade Runner’s replicants? Evolution and biodiversity that you’ve never read about. This book speaks about strange creatures, that are sometimes ugly and not very nice. It speaks about these animals that aren’t photogenic enough for the TV, not exemplary enough for glossy magazines, not big enough to be noticed. Of those creatures that rather than being drawn by Richard Dawkins’ famous “blind watchmaker” seem to have been designed by a short-sighted and slightly distracted one…
