Coyne"Review"[T]he respected evolutionary biologist lays out an airtight case that Earth is unspeakably old and that new species evolve from previous ones." "Coyne never takes it on faith that evolution exists; his book is a constant proving of exactly how and why it can exist....[and] the joy he takes in his work is evident on every page." "[A]t a time...when good evolution books are rife, Coyne has given general readers one of the best." "As they follow Mr. Coyne's parade of evidence -- his discussions of the fossil record, of vestigial traits, of the ways in which living things constantly make novel use of the bits and pieces they have inherited, of the distribution of plants and animals -- the components of Darwin's thesis are sequentially supported. We have a list of things to be shown, they are shown and the truth of evolution is established." "WHY EVOLUTION IS TRUE is outstandingly good. Coyne's knowledge of evolutionary biology is prodigious, his deployment of it as masterful as his touch is light. His coverage is enviably comprehensive, yet he simultaneously manages to keep the book compact and readable." "With great care, attention to the scientific evidence and a wonderfully accessible style, Coyne...presents an overwhelming case for evolution." AnnotationDr. Jerry Coyne presents a wealth of evidence from a wide variety of scientific fields which conclusively supports the theory of evolution and natural selection. Using data gathered from modern genetics, biology, anatomy, geology, and more, Coyne systematically addresses every aspect of the classic argument between evolution and creationism and clearly demonstrates that the natural evidence favors evolution on each point. Parties on both sides of the debate should find this to be an essential text. Among the wonders that science has uncovered about the universe, no subject has sparked more fascination and fury than evolution. Yet in all the ongoing debates about creationism and its descendant, a oeintelligent design, a one element of the controversy is rarely mentioned: the evidence, the empirical truth of evolution by natural selection. And that evidence is vast, varied and magnificent, drawn from a huge spectrum of scientific inquiry ranging from genetics, anatomy, and molecular biology to paleontology and geology.
