Really proud to have my book 'Explaining Life Through Evolution' coming out with @MITpress this week. I wanted to write an evolution book that the general reader could pick up and understand but also one that could explain the subject to the uninitiated.
Author Prosanta Chakrabarty (@PREAUX_FISH) leads us through the basics of evolutionary change, and explains how evolution doesn’t mean “perfection.” via @scifri
