Why Evolution is True

Why Evolution is True focuses on the hard evidence that proves evolution by natural selection to be a fact. Weaving together and explaining the latest discoveries and ideas from many disparate areas of modern science, this succinct and important book will leave no one with an open mind in any doubt about the truth-and the beauty-of evolution.

• While other books describe the concept and the processes by which evolution proceeds, Why Evolution is True presents the evidence: using modern science to demonstrate the 'indelible stamp' of the process first proposed by Darwin.
• Allows the reader to understand all the evidence, drawn from diverse areas of modern science, which supports Darwinian evolution.
• Presents the very latest research from the fields of genetics, palaeontology, geology, molecular biology, anatomy, and development.
• Written by one of the world's foremost evolutionary biologists
• Besides examining the evidence, the book dispels common misunderstandings about what evolution is: whether it is a fact or 'only' a theory, and what its implications are for human culture and for our sense of purpose and meaning.
