This was a masterpiece - concise yet comprehensive, and very interesting. Even though I majored in a science (chemistry) when I was in university, I learned a great deal. Dr. Coyne makes an unassailable case for the validity of the Theory of Evolution, supporting his statements with evidence from a variety of scientific disciplines. I must add that you definitely don't have to be a scientist to understand it. I'm going to keep this book as my primary reference when I encounter deniers of evolution.
I had to buy this for my college evolution class. I am a Christian who believes evolution is true. Yes, we do exist! Some of the diehard Christians would say I'm not actually Christian for this, but who's to say our Creator did not enable us to evolve? Regardless, that's a whole different argument, but I just wanted to point out that my review is from the point of view of a Christian who believes in evolution.As a whole, I did really like this book. He makes many good points and backs up his points with interesting evidence, some of which I wasn't even aware of, despite being a science student. I found out about midway through my class that I didn't really need to buy this book since my professor would go over the key topics of certain chapters of this book that he wanted to discuss, but I would still find myself reading the chapters myself because I found all the little stories and such that he includes to be very interesting. Normally, like most other college students, if I don't HAVE to read the chapters, I won't! But yet I did with this book. My professor really liked this book as well, though, of course, he got his degree in evolutionary sciences and is friends with Jerry Coyne.The only thing I was opposed to in this book is that sometimes he does go on tangent-like ramblings, usually whenever he was directly trying to discredit Christianity. Not creationism, but Christianity. These rants weren't very often though and can be ignored, but as a Christian it was a bit off-putting. I can perfectly well understand discrediting creationism, but discrediting a whole religion is a bit much, especially when there are others like me who are Christians who believe in evolution. In fact, there was a good number of Christians in my evolution class who had such beliefs.Nevertheless, if you can ignore his tangents like I did(which is the only reason I didn't rate this 5 stars - I would rate it 4.5 stars), then you'll find this book to be a very good read!
The mysteries of science unfold slowly and yield their secrets only with patient observation, spot-on speculation and provable results. Evolution is the key to life on our planet. In fact, evolution has probably been hard at work, constantly improving species, discarding unsuccessful diversions, working on new concepts that may result some sort of biological gain, and moving –constantly moving – to improve the efficiency of life forms. This journey, according to the University of Chicago’s Jerry Coyne, began about 3.5 billion years ago. That would be 35 million centuries ago.The basic concepts of evolution began to be worked out by Charles Darwin only a century and a half ago. He had much of it right but there were gaps in his knowledge of precisely what was happening. His enormous contribution was made well before the discovery of the basic unit of life, the gene, that tiny package of chemicals arranged in very specific combinations that have produced differences in life forms. But Darwin had the basics of the science very right. Later insights, built on the emergence of knowledge about genetic structure, led to an understanding that species evolve, gradually but steadily, into more successful forms. And now, today, well over ten million individual species are on our planet, each working to become more efficient and more successful.This is a fascinating science, one that throws off so many important observations. Of course, evolution has been the target of other theories of how species change and how human life appeared on the planet. But evolution is provable; records exist of earlier, less successful versions of species today. Professor Coyne is careful to discuss the process of proof since this is such a fundamental requirement in any complete discussion of evolution.A difficult subject is made alive and constantly fascinating in Why Evolution is True. Be prepared to race over many difficult scientific concepts but at the end you will be in awe of the power of nature over many billions of years. A marvelous book.
I loved this book. I literally didn't know ANYTHING about evolution. I was one of those people scratching their heads wondering why on earth monkeys are still here? This was the second book I read on the topic, the first being Richard Dawkins' The Greatest Show On Earth.These two books together make for great companion pieces. Dawkins book is thicker and he tends to try and spend a bit more time explaining things and going into detail, whereas this book is much more succinct and Coyne moves quickly from evidence to evidence.He's a really great writer with an immense vocabulary. The skill with which it was written is as enjoyable an experience to read and take in as the topic itself is interesting.Language might be a bit difficult for younger readers, but still a very important book to own. After reading these two books, you walk out feeling like an expert on evolutionary biology yourself. EX. there are professional terms used occasionally and explained (such as dimorphism). Check it out!P.S. Question to those who own the re-issue: It says it has over 300 pages, my copy has about 270 including references. What kind of extra material is in the rest of it? Is it worth re-buying?
