  In The Fragile Species , Dr. Thomas raises challenging questions about some of the major issues of our time - AIDS, drug abuse and ageing. He voices his vital concern for the planet Earth, hanging there in space and obviously alive , and he offers a way to avoid, in a solution rooted in biology, the possible destruction of so lovely a creature . With perception, Dr Thomas discusses such varied topics as evolutionary biology, the development of language, the therapeutic aspects of medicine and his love for his profession.
