The evolution of imperfection : the science of why we aren't and can't be perfect

by Laurence D. Hurst

This study explores how natural selection leads to genetic imperfections in humans, analysing why the human genome retains flaws and what this reveals about evolution, biology, and the treatment of genetic diseases.
