The heart rates of species tell the stories of the journey that each of them has taken since the beginning.

The Etruscan Shrew is the one with the highest heart rate

The whale one with the lowest heart rate

Us, human beings have a resting

Heart rate between 60–80 beats per minute on average

Given the scope or lenses we use, this simple measure can be so informative about the relationship among species and the position that each species has in the biological ecosystem. My discoveries about heart rate are in the writing stage. I am amazed by how a simple metric like the resting heart rate can be so informative but it will require a big scientific effort and devotion in order to bring an impactful theory about this because I chose to put numbers and statistics at the heart of the proof and explanation of this theory that deals with biology, genetics and the evolution theory.

here is the designed cover of this coming book I am writing that may or may not fail to get published

The Darwinian Heart by Papa Makthtar DIOP
