Explores why genetic changes do not cause organisms to fail catastrophically and how evolution shapes organisms' robustness. This book looks at this problem, starting with the alphabet of DNA, the genetic code, RNA, and protein molecules, moving on to genetic networks and embryonic development, and working his way up to whole organisms.
