As development encroaches every part of available natural ground, human-animal contact has become very common. The adaptation of fauna towards all this development is something to analyze clearly.
The author is an urban ecologist. In this book, he takes us around the world for an up close look at just how stunningly flexible and swift-moving natural selection can be.
With human populations growing, we're having an increasing impact on global ecosystems, and nowhere do these impacts overlap as much as they do in cities.
This book draws on eye-popping examples of adaptation, to share a stunning vision of urban evolution in which humans and wildlife coexist in a unique harmony.
It reveals that evolution can happen far more rapidly than Darwin dreamed, while providing a glimmer of hope that our race toward overpopulation might not take the rest of nature down with us.
