Download Do Elephants Have Knees? And Other Stories of Darwinian Origins AudioBook Free
Why is a penguin a bird? Is often a camel more closely related to a equine than to a giraffe? How come a whale not a seafood? Similar puzzles preoccupied Charles Darwin throughout his life. Whimsy, in the playfulness of experiences for children, is a way to appreciate Darwinian histories. In Do Elephants Have Legs? Charles R. Ault Jr. uses the fanciful imagery of history to explain Darwinian thought. At the same time, he launches careful consideration of Darwin's mankind, the roots of his attention, and the reach of his ideas. Ault's strategy illustrates the worthiness of history form in learning technology, and provides a wealth of resources for enriching courses that give attention to Darwin's ideas. "Good storytelling mines attention," Ault creates, "and exuberant playfulness enriches a disciplined study of technology."
