Why Evolution Is True by Jerry A. Coyne Book Summary

"Coyne's knowledge of evolutionary biology is prodigious, his deployment of it as masterful as his touch is light." -Richard Dawkins

In the current debate about creationism and intelligent design, there is an element of the controversy that is rarely mentioned-the evidence. Yet the proof of evolution by natural selection is vast, varied, and magnificent. In this succinct and accessible summary of the facts supporting the theory of natural selection, Jerry A. Coyne dispels common misunderstandings and fears about evolution and clearly confirms the scientific truth that supports this amazing process of change. Weaving together the many threads of modern work in genetics, paleontology, geology, molecular biology, and anatomy that demonstrate the "indelible stamp" of the processes first proposed by Darwin, Why Evolution Is True does not aim to prove creationism wrong. Rather, by using irrefutable evidence, it sets out to prove evolution right.

uh haha. This was such an awesome book. I've read a couple of books on evolution, but this is the first that actually made me interested in fossils. Very cool. Of course it wouldn't convince a dummy that evolution is true because you actually have to have some reading comprehension and be able to understand what you read, but for anyone with a brain that doesn't believe in evolution, this book will remove all doubt and if it doesn't, you aren't understanding it.

Very Good Read. While everyone knows (or should know) the general idea behind evolution, the author delves into minute details that further validate the theory without boring this reader. Very informative.

Okay, but information very commonplace.. I wouldn't recommend this book to anyone who has ever read a book about Evolution. Everything in this book is very commonplace knowledge. I recommend "The Greatest Show on Earth" to more advanced learners. Give this one to a creationist. I rated it so low so that it might encourage people to read this review and avoid the mistake that I made.

The best book of it's kind. If I had to recommend one book to someone that wanted to learn about evolution this would be the one.

Excellent. The author lays out the facts of evolution, has a great writing style, and contrasts his arguments with creationism without showing contempt for religion.

bad download?. error on many pages and several chapters appear to be missing from download to ipad 1. wish there was a way to redo this.

The Best Of It's Genre. I disagree with the review by William Austin. Yes, "The Greatest Show On Earth" contains more technical details, but those who are inclined to summarily dismiss evolution for ideological prejudices are probably not equipped to understand the scientific rigor of Dawkins. This book is the best case I've read for evolution that doesn't require the reader to have already accepted the logical details of the scientific method.

Masterpiece. A spectacularly accessible book, artfully crafted, and keenly suitable to both the scientist and layman alike.

When you have a Richard Dawkins quote in the synopsis, you know it’s gonna be bad.. Whether you’re religious or not, everyone knows that the theory of evolution is in fact a theory and has still yet to be proven. The title is misleading, he never gives any concrete facts nor does he mention the hundreds of “evolutionary” frauds that are to this day propagated in scientific textbooks.

Loved it. Very good and informative book. Tackles misconceptions on both sides.

Brilliant. Informative and accessible.

Easy to read, very informative. I loved your book! Seen through the eyes of an informed "evolutionist", all life now seems so much more special knowing the miraculous path ours and all other forms of life travelled to get to where we are today! How rare and special are we all!

This book is a gem!. My thanks to Professor Coyne for writi g this book. It helps me a lot in self teaching evolution. Very easy to understand. A really gem for beginner who doesn't know much about evolution.
