Product Description

Review

This is one of the best and certainly the most complete and up–to–date evolutionary textbooks in the market. This book has undergone extensive and welcome upgrading in the successive editions, since I have seen the earlier editions. Though it is comprehensive, it is easily followable by the students. The author is well known in the field and that is a big plus point.

The pedagogical aids are very good, with chapter opening outlines, summaries and questions, etc. The colour plates are very good, and the associated website is also quite useful. Hence, we are taking this valuable book as additional required reading.–V. Lakshminarayanan

"...this book certainly provides a good solid and up–to–date foundation to the subject of Evolution and one that I think students will find easy to use." Nick Colegrave, University of Edinburgh, in Genetic Research, May 2004

Inside This Book (Learn More)

First Sentence
When Darwin put forward his theory of evolution by natural selection, he lacked a satisfactory theory of inheritance, and the importance of natural selection was widely doubted until it was shown in the 1920s and 1930s how natural selection could operate with Mendelian inheritance.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great, 11 Nov 2003

By	"indenz" - See all my reviews

I bought this book as evolution and behaviour reference book for university. It is extremely comprehensive and covers all of it topics in a well structured way (that were far superior to some lecturers). It is fantastic as a reference book and is in fact my evolution bible - if I have a problem concerning evolution this is the first place I would look!

4.0 out of 5 stars Not the complete article, 28 April 2005

By	Kennedy bakircioglu "wolfy" (England) - See all my reviews

This text is very good for covering the theory of evolution in terms of statistics, but is lacking in detail in many important areas- well i say important, but they are just based on my evolution module. There is insufficient information on the origins of life, evolution of tetrapods, and human evolution. If this book covered these three areas in more detail then i'd give it 5 stars.

4.0 out of 5 stars A good text (but not the best), 21 April 2004

By	W. James "brasenose" - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This general text is less flashy and, in parts, more detailed than Freeman & Herron (my recommended text for my evolution course). However, it does not cover human evolution and human health issues particularly well
