A groundbreaking interpretation of evolution as the work of Natures intelligence Refutes the orthodox view of evolution as a mindless process driven by chance Explains why context is more important than mutation in evolutionary innovation Shows how, by recognizing Natures innovative and creative powers, we can overcome our social and environmental challenges with a new green science of evolution Darwins theory of evolution is undoubtedly one of the most important scientific ideas of the modern age, explaining the existence of both life and consciousness without recourse to divine intervention.

From one of the world's leading authorities on animal behavior, the astonishing story of how the female brain drives the evolution of beauty in animals and humansDarwin developed the theory of sexual selection to explain why the animal world abounds in stunning beauty, from the brilliant colors of butterflies and fishes to the songs of birds and frogs.
