In this interview Matt Crawford speaks with author Henry Gee about his book, A (Very) Short History of Life on Earth. As a paleontologist, evolutionary biologist and editor at Nature Henry Gee is in the unique position to describe those moments throughout this planets history that were most pivotal. Gee explains how we went from single celled organisms to what we are today in a lighthearted and hysterical fashion that will actually make you learn, while laughing out loud. This is the perfect book for anyone who is intimated by or thinks science is boring. I assure you this book will change your mind.
