The proof for evolution is vast, varied, and magnificent, drawn from
many different fields of scientific inquiry. Today, scientists are
documenting species splitting into two, observing animals and plants
adapting before our eyes, and finding more and more fossils capturing
what happened eons ago--dinosaurs that have sprouted feathers, fish that
have grown limbs. In this unique and accessible summary of the facts
supporting the theory of natural selection, Jerry A. Coyne eloquently
shows that evolution does nothing to destroy the beauty of life, only
enhances it. By demonstrating the "indelible stamp" of the processes
first proposed by Darwin, Coyne does not aim to prove creationism wrong.
Rather, by using irrefutable evidence, he sets out to prove evolution
right. "Coyne is as graceful a stylist and as clear a scientific
explainer as Darwin himself (no mean feat) . . . One of the best
single-volume introductions to evolutionary theory ever." --Wired
