For undergraduate courses in Evolution
By presenting evolutionary biology as a dynamic, ongoing research effort and organising discussions around questions, this best-selling text helps students think like scientists as they learn about evolution. The authors convey the excitement and logic of evolutionary science by introducing principles through recent and classical studies, and by emphasising real-world applications.
In the 5th Edition, co-author Jon Herron takes the lead in streamlining and updating content to reflect key changes in the field. The design and art program have also been updated for enhanced clarity.
