En esta colección de ensayos, Stephen Jay Gould explora una variedad de temas que van desde la historia hasta las últimas teorías en biología, pasando por controversias sobre paleontología y los orígenes del lenguaje. El título es un juego de palabras que ilustra el patrón más amplio de la historia de la vida. Durante milenios, los animales que poblaron la Tierra tenían cuatro o seis dedos en cada pie. Si la evolución hubiera tomado un pequeño giro, nuestros antepasados podrían haber heredado un par de genes de forma diferente, y nuestro número canónico, basado en los dedos de manos y pies, podría ser ocho en lugar de diez.
Stephen Jay Gould was an American paleontologist, evolutionary biologist, historian of science, and one of the most widely read authors of popular science of his generation. He is considered by many to be one of the most influential figures in evolutionary biology. Gould spent most of his career teaching at Harvard University and working at the American Museum of Natural History in New York. In 1996, Gould was hired as the Vincent Astor Visiting Research Professor of Biology at New York University, after which he divided his time teaching between there and Harvard.
