Beskrivelse

In this book, eminent biologists discuss whether animals are designed according to the same rules that engineers use in building machines; namely that materials and energy are used economically while achieving a high level of performance. This is controversial because, although there is evidence for this idea, evolution tells us that animals are not 'engineered' but result by natural selection.
