Katrina Van Grouw: Unnatural Selection

September 20, 2018

“Natural selection is an irrepressible force,” writes the returning guest on this episode of Inquiry.  KATRINA VAN GROUW is an artist, natural historian, and writer. Her latest book UNNATURAL SELECTION is both a stunning collection of her anatomical art combined with a scholarly, but very entertaining, text about selective breeding, genetics, and evolution. If you own a breed of dog, cat, bird, or fish, you will want to listen to Katrina’s interview and learn how “fanciers can fast forward evolution.” This is one of the best science books of the year as well as one of the best art books!
