Michael R. Rose is Professor of Evolutionary Biology at the University of California, Irvine.

He is also the author of The Evolutionary Biology of Aging and a coeditor of Adaptation.
"Darwin's Spectre will be a lightning rod among books on the great naturalist. Rose's emphatic opinions will ensure that the book will not be ignored. Other trade books have also explored Darwinism and its modern meaning, but Rose's is unique in its combination of a frankly historical placing of Darwin's ideas, its consideration of their many ramifications for modern life, and its grand conjectures about the future."--Steven M. Austad, University of Idaho; author ofWhy We Age
