In 'The Flamingo's Smile', Stephen Jay Gould invites us to reflect on the history of life on Earth based on the discovery that an asteroid or a rain of comets could have caused the Cretaceous extinction, which led to the disappearance of the dinosaurs and led to the emergence of the human being. Gould argues that human existence is not the inevitable culmination of evolution, but a historical accident, making this book a fascinating and important work.
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.
