NEW SCIENTIST: How did the zebra get its stripes?

Press/Media: Expert comment

Description

In the right hands, this book could change lives. Had I read something like this at 18, I would have tried to join Caro’s research group, or at least have a career emulating his work. It’s too late for me, but I predict that this marvellous book will encourage a new generation to get into the field and tackle evolutionary biology’s remaining enigmas, with or without the help of Kipling.
