Sub-title: DNA and the Ultimate Forensic Record of Evolution
The problem with reading books about DNA is they become stale so quickly! This one was written in 2006 and introduced me to a new author in the field. He's written more recent books on similar topics that I'll be looking out for.
This title makes the argument for evolution by providing scientific research and analysis. I found it very approachable although I got lost in some of the terminology. My primary take away was that there is a lot of evidence for evolution and DNA made those discoveries possible. A good read.
