Огромное спасибо Меган Марш-МакГлоун, помогавшей мне вести исследования и писать текст, отследившей бесчисленные источники, подготовившей библиографический список и примечания, добывшей разрешения на публикацию всех иллюстраций, подготовившей рукопись. Особая благодарность Лиэнн Олдз, нарисовавшей многие иллюстрации и подготовившей все рисунки к печати.

Я также благодарю Денниса Лю, Дэвида Элиско, Джона Рубина, Лауру Бонетту, Энн Таррант и Джейми Кэрролл за ценные замечания по черновикам книги и Эндрю, Гарри и Саймона Левина – за их вдумчивую экспертную оценку.

Особая благодарность также причитается Элисон Кэлетт, моему редактору из издательства Princeton University Press. Эта книга получилась такой увлекательной благодаря тому, что Эллисон сразу поставила мне необычную и непростую задачу: написать «короткую и провокационную книгу по биологии». Спасибо моему агенту Рассу Гейлену за мудрые советы и поддержку, а также за то, что у меня получилась именно такая книга, какую я хотел написать.
