The Darwin Awards Next Evolution: Chlorinating the Gene Pool

The Darwin Awards Next Evolution: Chlorinating the Gene Pool

<b>The hilarious <i>New York Times</i> bestselling phenomenon—more than 1.5 million copies sold! </b><br /><br /> <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author Wendy Northcutt is back, asking, <i>Have we evolved at all?</i> The answer:<i> Not all of us.</i><br /><br /> What crazy cocktail of DNA leads Homo sapiens to do pull-ups off the edge of a seventh-floor balcony or wrap their lips around a paintball gun and pull the trigger? How about offering a beer to a bear or self-testing a Taser? Why not go joyriding in a shopping cart strapped to an SUV or jump a drawbridge on a bicycle? <br /><br /> Fully illustrated with over a hundred new jaw-dropping and side-splitting feats of stupidity—and including science essays by guest writers and answers to FAQs about evolution in action—<i>The Darwin Awards Next Evolution</i> continues the tradition of honoring the victims of appallingly poor survival instinct who selflessly improve our gene pool by removing themselves from it.
