Marlene Zuk shares her book Dancing Cockatoos and the Dead Man Test: How Behavior Evolves and Why It Matters.
Longlisted for the 2023 PEN/E.O. Wilson Literary Science Writing Award, it is a lively exploration of animal behavior in all its glorious complexity, whether in tiny wasps, lumbering elephants, or ourselves.
Marlene Zuk is Regents Professor of ecology, evolution, and behavior at the University of Minnesota and studies animal sexual behavior and communication. The author of Paleofantasy and Sex on Six Legs, among other works, she lives in St. Paul, Minnesota.
