Title: Wonderful read, albeit wrong on some points
Product review: Good books present material in story form, and WONDERFUL LIFE delivers on that. Gould is known in the UK as the biologist that made "group selection" famous in the US, much like E.O. Wilson. Unfortunately, folks in the UK view--correctly--that selection targets the individual, not the group, unless of course, the group is thought of as an individual, e.g., ants, termites, etc. Read WONDERFUL LIFE for its exposition of the Burgess Shale, replete with examples--I love Hallucigenia!--and let the other stuff fly right over your head. Highly recommended... - lc
