"Did you know your amazing, incredible body is a walking, talking museum of evolution? In The Museum of Odd Body Leftovers, tour guides Wisdom Tooth and Disappearing Kidney lead readers through a wacky museum dedicated to vestigial structures: body parts that were essential to our ancestors but are no longer useful to us--even though they're still hanging around. From goosebumps and hiccups to exploding organs and monkey muscles, each room in the museum shows us that these parts have stories to tell us about our past. By the time we make it to the gift shop, we'll understand that evolution is not only messy and imperfect, but also ongoing. Our bodies are constantly changing along with the environment we live in--and there's so much that is still unknown, just waiting to be discovered."-- English language edition description.

« De la chair de poule au hoquet ; chaque pièce du Musée des bouts inutiles du corps aborde un vestige qui en dit long sur notre passé. Professeur Dent de sagesse, accompagné du rein fugitif, mèneront la visite de cet endroit aussi étrange que passionnant! »-- Provided by publisher.
