It delves into the scientific evidence supporting evolution, highlighting adaptation and common descent. Readers will gain insights into how the mechanisms of inheritance and gene flow drive evolutionary change, shaping the biological world. The book integrates Darwin’s ideas with modern genetics to explain molecular evolution and population genetics.
Examining the fossil record, comparative anatomy, and embryology, it presents a compelling picture of life’s history.
