The Social Amoebae: The Biology of Cellular Slime… de John Tyler Bonner
The Social Amoebae: The Biology of Cellular Slime Molds Rather short book about cellular slime molds.
This should have been a concise, 10-page article. Instead it's a point against the scientists in the eternal battle of scientists-versus-writers-writing-science. This is an enthusiastic but woefully unedited ramble by a slime mold expert.
Bonner's argument in this long essay is essentially, the simpler the organism, the less role natural selection plays in evolution - randomness plays a much larger role. This is a very short essay on a topic sure to cause much debate in his field. I am not a biologist, but I believe Bonner has made a persuasive argument and look forward to the discoveries which will be made by those testing his thesis.
