Review of 'The Darwin Awards II: Unnatural Selection'

The Darwin Awards II: Unnatural Selection by Wendy Northcutt

More tails culled from the famous Internet web site that has stories detailing how people have improved the gene pool by removing themselves from it (killing themselves). Most of the stories are true but those that are not are indicated as such (or as “Urban Legend”). Quite a macabre but often amusing look at how stupid some people can be. Each chapter is introduced with a small essay on some aspect of Darwinism or about the chapter itself but the tales themselves are what readers are looking for. An interesting, fun (?), read.
