Freaks of Nature : And What They Tell Us About Evolution and Development

These examples of extreme bodily anomalies are in fact the natural products of development, and it is through such developmental mechanisms that evolution works.

And Blumberg shows how 'freak' deformities can provide valuable windows on the intimate connections between genetics, development, the environment, and evolution. In taking seriously a subject that has often been shunned as discomfiting and embarrassing, Freaks of Nature takes the perspective of evolutionary developmental biology to shed new light on how individuals--and entire species--develop, survive, and evolve.
