Life changing

This thought-provoking book considers the many ways that we’ve altered the DNA of living things and changed the fate of life on earth. As we warm our world and radically reshape the biosphere, we affect the evolution of all living things, from the emergence of novel hybrids to the entirely new strains of animals and plants that are evolving at breakneck speed to cope with their altered environment. In Life Changing, the author introduces us to these post-natural creations and talks to the scientists who create, study and tend to them. She explores the changing relationship between humans and the natural world, and reveals how, with evidence-based thinking, humans can help life change for the better.
