À propos de la quatrième de couverture
As you read these words Planet Earth teems with trillions of life-forms, each going about their own business; eating, reproducing, thriving ...Yet the life of almost every single entity draws nearer and nearer to certain death. Why? Why is death such a universal companion to life on Earth? Why haven't animals evolved to break free of its shackles? In this ground-breaking exploration of death, Jules Howard attempts to shed evolutionary light on this, one of our biggest and most unshakeable taboos.
