Evolving Tomorrow: Genetic Engineering and the Evolutionary Future of the Anthropocene

Explores how humans have manipulated the ancient forces of evolution and the future possibilities of genetic engineering for conservation and rewilding, de-extinction, and even the creation of viable populations of entirely new species. In so doing, this thought-provoking book explores the potential future of life on planet Earth.
