Discover the astonishing ways human activity is driving evolution in “Unnatural Selection: How We Are Changing Life, Gene by Gene” by Emily Monosson. Explore how our chemicals, from pesticides to medicines, are creating intense selection pressures on everything from bacteria and weeds to humans. Monosson reveals the surprising adaptability of life and the potential consequences for our own species as fast-reproducing organisms develop resistance. This eye-opening book delves into contemporary evolution, examining both the pests we fight and the collateral damage to our environment. Learn about cutting-edge science on gene expression and how environmental stressors impact future generations. “Unnatural Selection” offers a disquieting yet hopeful look at mitigating our impact and safeguarding our future.
