Como en La vida maravillosa o en «Brontosaurus» y la nalga del ministro, S. J. Gould despliega en este libro las maravillas de la naturaleza y fija nuestra atención sobre algunas cuestiones enigmáticas: ¿qué nos dicen el extraño pulgar del panda, las migraciones de las tortugas marinas y la diversidad de los «peces pescadores» acerca de las imperfecciones que hacen de la naturaleza «una magnífica chapucera y no un divino artífice»? ¿Qué prejuicios racistas se esconden tras el término «mongolismo», acuñado por Down? ¿Cabríamos dentro de la célula de una esponja? Pero S. J. Gould no nos desvela el secreto de estas y otras muchas cuestiones sólo para entretener nuestro ocio, sino que utiliza estas fascinantes curiosidades para ilustrarnos acerca de la teoría de la evolución –«las rarezas de la naturaleza nos permiten poner a prueba las teorías sobre la historia de la vida y su significado»– y para mostrarnos que del conocimiento de la naturaleza podemos deducir «mensajes para nuestras vidas» y una mejor comprensión de las paradojas de la condición humana.

El exito obtenido por la Historia del tiempo, de Stephen Hawking, propicio la creacion, en 1991, de esta coleccion de divulgacion cientifica que fue dirigida durante largo tiempo por dos personas de formacion humanistica: de ahi ciertas contaminaciones al inicio de la coleccion. Sin embargo, cuando Jose Manuel Sanchez Ron se hizo cargo de ella, dio un aprobado a la gestion anterior. En esta coleccion, quiza la mas ambiciosa de todas las de divulgacion cientifica que se editan en espanol, se han publicado obras de Stephen Jay Gould, Carl Sagan, lan Stewart, Edward O. Wilson, Antonio Damasio, Luigi Luca Cavalli-Sforza, Ilya Prigogine, John D. Barrow, Rita Levi Montalcini, Richard P. Feynman, Roger Penrose, Steven Weinberg, Rachel Carson, Francisco Garcia Olmedo, Francisco Yndurain o Jose Manuel Sanchez Ron. Que nos dicen el extrano pulgar del panda, las migraciones de las tortugas marinas y la diversidad de los « peces pescadores acerca de las imperfecciones que hacen de la naturaleza « una magnifica chapucera y no un divino artifice?

"Gould is a natural writer; he has something to say and the inclination and skill with which to say it." —P. B. Medawar, New York Review of Books With sales of well over one million copies in North America alone, the commercial success of Gould's books now matches their critical acclaim. The Panda's Thumb will introduce a new generation of readers to this unique writer, who has taken the art of the scientific essay to new heights. Were dinosaurs really dumber than lizards? Why, after all, are roughly the same number of men and women born into the world? What led the famous Dr. Down to his theory of mongolism, and its racist residue? What do the panda's magical "thumb" and the sea turtle's perilous migration tell us about imperfections that prove the evolutionary rule? The wonders and mysteries of evolutionary biology are elegantly explored in these and other essays by the celebrated natural history writer Stephen Jay Gould.

Este libro contiene una selección de los textos más importantes de Stephen Jay Gould (1941-2002), quizá el mayor paleontólogo del siglo XX. Desde El pulgar del panda, hasta La falsa medida del hombre, pasando por Un dinosaurio en un pajar o Las piedras falaces de Marrakech, los 55 trabajos que constituyen esta obra son los más representativos, los más esenciales, para conocer cabalmente las ideas del gran historiador natural norteamericano. A su legendaria capacidad para la divulgación científica -nadie ha hecho tanto por la difusión entre el gran público de las ideas, los entresijos y las maravillas de la biología, de la evolución, o de la historia y la filosofía de la ciencia-, Stephen Jay Gould añade el acervo de una amplísima cultura y una extraordinaria capacidad literaria que hace de la lectura de sus obras una verdadera delicia. Introducción, selección y traducción de Joandomènec Ros, catedrático de Ecología de la Universidad de Barcelona.

The themes discussed in this book, translated to English by Australian Kieran Tapsell, form part of a revolutionary discipline known under the name of evolutionary psychology, a discipline that has become the most powerful tool discovered to date for man to understand himself. Much of the knowledge revealed by human science is explained as a result of the evolutionary process, using as a premise the theory that the majority of modern man’s desires, impulses, interests and inclinations, and mental faculties were designed by the evolutionary process of the species. This new focus allows us to synthesize a group of already established findings, coming from such diverse disciplines as genetics, evolution, ethology, anthropology, psychology, neurology and epistemology. In this way, it is possible to explain an important part of complex human behavior under one sole, unifying principle: the direct or indirect search for a greater reproductive efficacy. With this work, easily readable by the general public, the author completes a cycle of subjects that he had begun with From the Big Bang to Homo Sapiens (2004), a book published in Spanish by Villegas Editores.
