«Los Premios Darwin» is the humor book by Wendy Northcutt, published by Punto de Lectura in paperback (320 pages, in Spanish).
A collection of anecdotes about people who, through extremely reckless actions, remove themselves from the gene pool and earn the ironic Darwin Award that gives the book its title. Northcutt, creator of DarwinAwards.com, tells them with black humor and an agile style, oscillating between hilarity and a reflection on the lack of common sense.
Spanish edition published in July 2003; the cover features chimpanzees and a quote attributed to Albert Einstein: «Sólo dos cosas son infinitas: el universo y la estupidez humana».
For those who enjoy black humor and surprising anecdotes about human stupidity.
The Darwin Awards are a rhetorical tongue-in-cheek honor that originated in Usenet newsgroup discussions around 1985. They recognize individuals who have supposedly contributed to human evolution by selecting themselves out of the gene pool by dying or becoming sterilized by their own actions.
