Customer Reviews
This is a well written book that clearly explains the basics of evolution by using clear examples and studies. I particularly like how the book peaks your interest by starting with HIV in chapter one. My only complaint would be the cursory treatment of the arguments against evolution. Intelligent Design and Creationism only got a few pages each. This doesn't really give you a strong foot hold when you are trying to have a discussion with someone who stands against evolution, because in order to have that argument, you really need to understand the basis of their argument. Also, I bought this book as an alternative to buying the newer, higher priced version for class, and I have noticed no point where I am missing relevant information.
