Description
Evolution: A Very Short Introduction explores how our understanding of the living world has changed over time. From the idea that the Earth is at the centre of the universe to the recognition of evolution by natural selection, this book provides a clear and concise summary of the process.
The authors introduce the central concepts of evolutionary biology, discussing how natural selection gives rise to adaptations and eventually leads to new species. They also highlight the wide range of evidence for evolution and its importance in understanding the world around us.
This updated edition includes key changes to the main text and a revised Further Reading section, making it an ideal introduction to the subject for anyone looking to get ahead quickly.
