The Flamingo's Smile

Reflections in Natural History

"Gould himself is a rare and wonderful animal—a member of the endangeredspecies known as the ruby-throated polymath. . . . [He] is a leading theoriston large-scale patterns in evolution . . . [and] one of the sharpest and most humane thinkers in the sciences."—David Quammen, New York Times Book Review


Stephen Jay Gould (1941-2002) wrote more than twenty books and received the National Book Award, the National Book Critics Circle Award, and a MacArthur Fellowship. He taught at Harvard University for more than thirty years.
