In this ground-breaking exploration of death, Jules Howard attempts to shed evolutionary light on this, one of our biggest and most unshakeable taboos. Encountering some of the world’s oldest animals, and meeting the scientists attempting to unravel their mysteries, Jules also comes face-to-face with evolution’s outliers; the animals that may one day avoid death altogether.
Written in his familiar engaging and humorous style, Jules’s journey inevitably ends with our own fate: can we ever become immortal? And even if we could, would we really want to?
Jules Howard is a zoologist, writer, blogger and broadcaster. He writes on a host of topics relating to zoology and wildlife conservation, and appears regularly in BBC Wildlife Magazine and on radio and TV, including on BBC’s The One Show, Nature and The Living World as well as BBC Breakfast and Radio 4’s Today programme. Jules also runs a social enterprise that has brought almost 100,000 young people closer to the natural world. Death on Earth is his second book, following Sex on Earth (Bloomsbury, 2014).
