In the 1950s, a British physician and amateur lepidopterist named H. B. D. Kettlewell went into the English woods to catch \"evolution in action\" among the now-famous Peppered Moths. His work became \"Darwin's missing evidence,\" an evolutionary experiment as influential as any in the last century. Compellingly told, Of Moths and Men reveals Kettlewell to be a deluded scientist, a man tyrannized by his mentor, the powerful E. B. Ford, an imperious, eccentric Oxford don, a Darwinian zealot determined to crush all enemies in his path. In a revelatory, controversial work that will be debated for years to come, Judith Hooper uncovers the intellectual rivalries, petty jealousies, and faulty science behind one of the most famous experiments-and myths-in the history of evolutionary biology. Finalist for the Los Angeles Times Book Prize. 8 pages of illustrations\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51856216523040,"sku":"NEW0393325253","price":10.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/71k5QP9DOyL.jpg?v=1781548257","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/of-moths-and-men-an-evolutionary-tale-the-untold-story-of-science-and-the-peppered-moth-0393325253","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
