O que os elefantes-marinhos podem nos revelar a respeito da ilíada? Que luz os gorilas podem lançar sobre a obra de Shakespeare? De acordo com os cientistas David Barash e sua filha Nanelle, as respostas para essas perguntas encontram-se na palavra mais importante da biologia - evolução. Os autores, experientes darwinistas, fazem , ao mesmo tempo, uma introdução acessível a um campo fascinante da ciência e um olhar provocante e original sobre a literatura.
