Darwin Comes to Town: How the Urban Jungle Drives Evolution. Menno Schilthuizen (2018).
The Anthropocene marks an era of profound human influence on Earth’s systems. While many studies highlight mass extinction, Menno Schilthuizen emphasizes nature’s resilience in urban landscapes. He presents cities as evolving ecosystems where adaptation unfolds rapidly, challenging conventional views of urbanization. His perspective urges a rethinking of urban ecology and the persistence of biodiversity.
