Lo Grasset is the French punk scientist par excellence, founder of Dirty Biology and author of the blog 'Dans les testicules de Darwin' devoted to biology, testosterone and rock'n'roll (danslestesticulesdedarwin.blogspot.co.uk). He is also one of France's leading up-and-coming evolutionary biologists: see him in action on YouTube giving a paper at
the
cole normale suprieure conference in Lyon in April 2015 on 'Les hommes hybrides - des chimphumains
Denisova'.
Charming 'just so' stories. Now and again Grasset finds order and coherence in the natural world. But Grasset is also sharply aware of those points where the cause-and-effect logic of scientific description cannot show the whole picture. He has even more fun describing the occasions when, frankly, nature goes nuts.
