世上沒有「普通」、也沒有「特別」，只有「不一樣」。每種差異和個性，都有存在的意義，每個生命都只會是自己，也只能成為自己，發現自己的優勢和唯一，身處邊緣也可以變成中心。全世界最勵志的生物學！● 2021年日本各中學入學考「國文科」試題最常引用的作品● 歌手星野源也深受鼓舞的「創造」之書你想探尋的自我肯定和人生價值，答案就在自然界裡！專業審訂、推薦陳俊堯 慈濟大學生命科學系助理教授、科普作家各界推薦（按姓名筆劃排序）沈雅琪　神老師黃仕傑　自然觀察書籍作者、外景節目主持人陳品皓　米露谷心理治療所執行長彭冠綸 小鎮圖書館館長、「館長小編的圖書館日常」粉專版主詹慶齡　資深主播、名人書房主持人蔡依橙　素養教育工作坊核心講師羅怡君　親職溝通作家與講師● 蚯蚓捨棄了四肢，才變成土裡最強大？● 雜草被踩踏了就此躺平，另覓出路反而更茁壯？● 「不會飛」對奇異鳥來說是繁衍優勢？● 瞪羚的花式脫逃術讓速度最快的獵豹也沒轍？● 飛鼠爬樹總是慢吞吞，卻也因此發現自己有在林間滑翔的絕技？你自以為的弱項，或許正是你賴以生存的利基。不必勉強克服不擅長，用自己的專長決勝負就好。想往哪裡生長，是生命的自由，邊緣、弱小也無妨，只要那是「適合自己」的地方。現今是強調「個性」的時代，到底什麼是「個性」？如果個性就是「忠於自我」，那什麼又是「自我」呢？不如來看看生物世界給出的答案吧！在自然界裡，「個性」可以代換成「多樣性」，也就是「許多不同的存在」。生物的演化，就是「創造出多樣性的演化」。生物為什麼喜歡生長得「各式各樣、不一致」？「弱肉強食」若是生存的鐵則，弱小的雜草和蚯蚓又是如何強韌地活著呢？科普作家、農學博士稻垣榮洋，透過九堂鮮活、可親的生物課，將自然界的生存樣貌和人類社會的生活現象映照比對，一方面呈現生物世界的繁盛奇妙，也破解了關於〈個性〉〈普通〉〈自我〉〈勝利〉〈強大〉等觀念的認知盲點，讓我們赫然發現人類許多自以為是的成見，體認「展現個性」、「活出自我」所代表的真正意義。自然界並不存在「普通、界限、順序」，也沒有優劣強弱之分，這些只是拙於應付「很多、不一致」的人類大腦，為了方便理解而設定的標準、框架。世上有的只是無數的「個性」，也就是「差異」，而每一種個性都是生物被賦予的「獨門」生存武器。自然界也沒有標準答案，一旦環境改變，原本的少數派、邊緣者或許就能發揮優秀的能力；成功演化的不見得是強大的生物，而是找
