In 'The Panda's Thumb', Stephen Jay Gould explores the wonders of nature and raises enigmatic questions about evolution. Through examples such as the panda's thumb, sea turtle migrations, and the diversity of fish, Gould reflects on the imperfections of nature and how these allow us to better understand the theory of evolution. In addition, he examines racist prejudices and invites us to reflect on the human condition through knowledge of nature.
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.
