Description
Biological evolution is not "just a theory" but a reality. It has been occurring for billions of years and has led to the emergence of so many wondrous life forms that it deserves to be called the greatest show on Earth; and this grand spectacle needed no director. At the same time, evolution is happening right before our eyes, as we can observe it in elephant trunks and the wagging of a dog's tail. The book by a renowned British biologist and science popularizer will show us the workings of evolution from many perspectives, from the paleontological record to molecular genetics and embryonic development, to the domestication of animals and how the history of life has influenced the geographical distribution of current species.
