La guía del zoólogo galáctico

Scientists are convinced that there is life in outer space. However, our view of the "alien" is too influenced by Hollywood clichés. The time has come to abandon our fixation on monsters and base our expectations on solid scientific foundations. Drawing on his knowledge of life on Earth and Darwin's evolutionary theory, Cambridge zoologist Arik Kershenbaum explains to us in this amazing book what alien life could be like. How they could communicate by means of electrical impulses, or what conditions would be necessary so that in evolution symmetry had not been imposed are two of the many questions that it solves: can there be a planet with supersonic animals? Will they scream in fear, swear to tell the whole truth, or possess advanced technology? In this entertaining and absorbing zoological guide, Kershenbaum uses the latest scientific discoveries to address one of the most fascinating questions that mankind asks.
