Recenzje

"This ambitious book contains an interesting mix of ideas but makes a weak case for abandoning our current models of evolutionary processes. Readers should not consider this volume to be an up to-date discussion on evolution, development, and behavior as it contains multiple misconceptions that are essential for understanding these topics." --The Quarterly Review of Biology
