Movement as the engine of evolution
Restless Creatures: The Story of Life in Ten Movements is written by Matt Wilkinson and published by Basic Books. It is a work of popular science that puts locomotion, walking, flying, swimming and everything in between, at the centre of the story of life on Earth.
Across ten chapters spanning early sea creatures through to primates, Wilkinson argues that the ways animals learned to move shaped the course of evolution itself, and that everyday actions we take for granted are the product of an extraordinary evolutionary history.
A good choice for readers curious about evolutionary biology and natural history who enjoy science writing that reframes something familiar in a new light.
