Darwin Comes to Town: How the Urban Jungle Drives Evolution

Urban ecosystems are drastically changing our planet, as seen through the eyes of evolutionary biologist Menno Schilthuizen in his book Darwin Comes to Town. From carrion crows in Japan using traffic to crack nuts, to Puerto Rican lizards evolving feet for better grip on concrete, to urban blackbirds adapting their songs to be heard over the noise of traffic, our man-made environments are pushing animals and plants to evolve quicker than ever before. As one of the many "urban ecologists" studying these changes, Schilthuizen takes readers on a global tour to witness the incredible adaptability of wildlife in the face of human impact. Despite the extreme conditions of the urban environment, these creatures are finding ways to not only survive, but thrive. This book provides a new perspective on urban evolution, giving hope that our growing population can coexist with the rest of nature.
