Rate this book
“우리가 먹는 모든 음식에는 진화의 역사가 담겨 있다.”
먹방과 쿡방의 시대, 언제 어디서든 음식과 요리 관련 콘텐츠를 접할 수 있는 시대에 진화생물학자가 보내는 ‘다윈과의 만찬’ 초청창.《늙는다는 건 우주의 일》 《씨앗의 자연사》를 통해 거의 모든 과학 분야를 넘나드는 방대한 지식과, 문학과 신화까지 활용하는 놀라운 인문학점 감성을 보여준 저자는 자연선택이 음식과 인류에게 어떤 영향을 주었는지에 대한 매혹적인 이야기를 들려준다. 또한 GMO와 교잡종에 대한 내용, 시각, 후각, 미각의 여러 감각과 요리의 상호관계에 얽힌 과학까지 소개하고, ‘우리는 왜 음식을 나눠 먹는가?’라는 질문을 통해 음식과 인간관계에 대한 진화론적 해석을 들려주기도 한다.

About the author

Jonathan Silvertown

17 books37 followers
Jonathan was born and raised in London and his schoolboy nature watching was done while taking furtive short-cuts on cross-country runs across Hampstead Heath. He made much faster progress when running back from Hampstead’s bookshops in time to beat the end of lunch hour bell. His first scientific paper was submitted with an epigraph by Walter de la Mare which the editor removed with a snide comment, and ever since Jonathan has done his best to hide the poetry in his scientific prose. In Orchard Invisible the poet emerges barefaced in the very first line with the words: “Seeds have a mirrored life, the original in nature and another reflected in literature and the imagination.”
