Description

Blending vivid field reporting with clear, accessible science, this introduction to evolution explores how life has been shaped by adaptation, inheritance, chance, and natural selection. From fossils revealing the transition of ancient ancestors from sea to land to animals and organisms thriving in unexpected environments, the book brings evolutionary discovery to life through stories of scientists at work. It connects these investigations to the diversity of the living world and to humanity’s own place within it, offering general readers an engaging and illuminating guide to one of science’s central ideas.
