The Natural History Of Unicorns

The Natural History Of Unicorns
By Chris Lavers. Where did the unicorn come from, and how was it accepted as a part of the animal kingdom for so long? Chris Lavers argues that although the unicorn of our imagination isn't real, traces of its character can be found in existing species. In this lively and vivid exploration of the natural world, Lavers follows the beast's trail to the plateaus of India and into the jungles of Africa to unearth the flesh and blood ancestors of our iconic unicorn. Along the way, Lavers introduces the peoples, historians, explorers, traders, and scientists who believed in the unicorn, and describes their efforts to pin it down. Its changing status - from one-horned ass to religious symbol to pure myth - reflects man's journey from superstition to scientific understanding, ultimately leading to a greater insight into the natural world.
