Colin Tudge (born 22 April 1943) is a British science writer who is the author of numerous works on agriculture, genetics, and species diversity. His publications include Neanderthals, Bandits and Farmers, a small book explaining how agriculture began. The book is one of a series of long essays by respected contemporary Darwinian thinkers, which were published under the collective title Darwinism Today; the series was inspired by a course of 'Darwin Seminars' which took place at the LSE in London in the late 1990s. [1]
Another book, The Variety of Life, is a survey and a celebration of all the creatures that have ever lived. (Oxford University Press, 2000)
Tudge has also recently published a book called So Shall We Reap, in which he attempts to outline a sustainable way of feeding the population of the world, which he expects to stabilise at ten billion people by the middle of the 21st Century. The book's rather long subtitle gives a general indication of his perspective: how everyone who is liable to be born in the next ten thousand years could eat very well indeed; and why, in practice, our immediate descendants are likely to be in serious trouble.
