Could human evolution actually be accelerating? Through a wide-ranging assortment of case studies - Tibetans who endure in harsh altitudes and stress-ridden civil servants - Wills illustrates how our environment has driven human evolution in new directions. 'My favourite book about human biology this year. Many people imagine that advances in medicine and hygiene, which have so extended lifespans in the industrial world, have removed the pressure of natural selection on our species. Wills shows how crudely misleading this view is ' - Clive Cookson, Financial Times Books of the Year
