Evolution, an old scholarly trick? Not at all! Quite the contrary, it's a fascinating and timely scientific subject.

Shattering discoveries are still being made, and have even punctuated every decade for almost three centuries. For example, new species (like the coelacanth), theoretical revolutions (such as neutralism), descriptions of breathtaking fossils (a dinosaur with surprising wings!), but also controversies (between Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire and Cuvier) and new interpretations (those of the outline of our continents).

Evolution thus manifests itself in many forms and also in different timeframes, ranging from millions of years of coexistence between several human species to the speed of a pandemic caused by a virus that evolves faster than health measures.

Wander through this book among 50 dramatic twists of evolution!

The mechanisms of evolution are reviewed by a great museum specialist to explain simply the organisation of the living, the individual and also society as it currently stands. The latest scientific discoveries and concrete examples illustrate the comments.
