Endless Forms Most Beautiful: The New Science of Evo Devo
Endless Forms Most Beautiful: The New Science of Evo Devo | Sean B. Carroll
2 posts | 5 read | 3 to read
“A beautiful and very important book.”—Lewis Wolpert, American Scientist For over a century, opening the black box of embryonic development was the holy grail of biology. Evo Devo—Evolutionary Developmental Biology—is the new science that has finally cracked open the box. Within the pages of his rich and riveting book, Sean B. Carroll explains how we are discovering that complex life is ironically much simpler than anyone ever expected.

I still wish I'd read this before I did my exam. It would have really helped to clarify my thoughts. If you work through a recent paper on Evo Devo, you'll eventually get the same understanding this book offers... it just takes longer. Also, you need the background for it to make sense for the paper, but this book should make it pretty easy.

The bare necessities getting me through this awful cold: books, and Helen Hippo.

I wish I'd read this book before i suddenly had to write about Evo Devo during my final exam. I kicked ass anyway, but this would probably have given me a boost. Having come through all that, it's rather simple for me now!
