Molecular Evolution for the Masses

摘要

In his new book, Sean Carroll summarizes the molecular evidence for evolution by natural selection for a nonspecialist audience. As stated in the introduction, The Making of the Fittest: DNA and the Ultimate Forensic Record of Evolution is intended to marshal the evidence from DNA sequence data to help contribute to the debates on evolution versus creationism/intelligent design. Although there are many books intended to educate the public about evolution (and we certainly seem to need them now), Carroll's book may be the first to focus specifically on the DNA evidence.
