«The Darwin Awards II» is Wendy Northcutt's humorous compilation, published by Orion in paperback (304 pages, in English).
A collection of real chronicles from DarwinAwards.com featuring people who, through absurd decisions, ended up removing themselves from the human gene pool. This second installment adds new stories about death and lack of common sense, turning them into a satire of contemporary natural selection.
Second volume of the Darwin Awards series, published in 2002 and comprising 180 stories of absurd deaths.
For readers with a dark sense of humor who enjoy real chronicles of human recklessness and absurd anecdotes.
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.
