Improbable Destinies: Fate, Chance, and the Future of Evolution by Jonathan B. Losos
4.0
was going with 3.5 stars until the conclusion when Losos mentioned perry the platypus. instant boost to four.
on that note, the author questions if perry is introspective, to which i would argue yes, citing my evidence as that song 'when we didn't get along' and the whole episode with the peter the panda debacle.
as for the actual book though, really solid if you're into evolution or whatever. or if you're not. i read some of the Real Published Science Papers mentioned in this book for my evolution course and did not understand the experiments until Losos explained them. also the illustrations, anecdotes, and connections to pop culture were fun.
