reviewed The Flamingo's Smile: Reflections in Natural History on March 05, 2016 The Flamingo's Smile
There is a lot more than meets the eye to this esoteric collection of paleontology/biology articles.
Whilst working through some of the strangest topics, for example (i) the special variation among Caribbean sea snails and (ii) why pre-Cambrian worms aren't actually worms, I was surreptitiously being taught the intricacies of the scientific method.
These articles are lessons in critical thinking concepts such as - open-mindedness, acknowledging errors (including your own), recognizing false assumptions and poorly reasoned conclusions, pursuing truth over ego and differentiating between evidence and speculation. Using real world examples this book is a kind of training manual in critical thinking.
