Evolution well explained
Reviewed in the United States on 5 August 2021Verified Purchase
Evolution is the most extraordinary story to know and share. This book shows the patterns and processes of life on the planet, clearly explaining the biological and environmental mechanisms that have shaped the diversity of our biosphere. As in previous editions, Douglas Futuyma is quite didactic, this time accompanied by Mark Kirkpatrick. Another excellent companion book is Herron and Freeman's Evolutionary Analysis (fifth edition, Pearson). Now that Sinauer has been swallowed up by Oxford, let's hope he goes ahead with his excellent academic proposals.

Reviewed in France on 17 December 2018Verified Purchase
J'ai simplement feuilleté le livre.
Il traite du pourquoi l'évolution a donné ça ou ça, avec de beaux graphique, belle photo.
Après avoir lu Poussière de vie de Christian de Duve, je cherchais un livre avec images, dessin de l'évolution depuis
les premières cellules jusqu'à nous, mais ce n'est pas ce livre, donc je cherche encore.
Mais je ne regrette pas d'avoir ce livre, surement beaucoup de bon moment à lire en anglais, oups.
