Evolution in 30 Seconds

Adapt or die - this is the most famous law of nature. But how does evolution actually occur? It is too slow to be observed with the naked eye, yet evolution is continuously taking place around us. Even if you... are familiar with key concepts such as variability, natural selection, and parent-offspring conflict, context is necessary for their full understanding. From population to speciation, from polymorphism to evolutionary psychology - this book contains everything you need to know.
"Evolution in 30 Seconds" opens the laboratory of life to examine the 50 most significant topics that will help you understand everything about the missing links in the origin of species and the process of natural selection over four billion years. Learn all about the development of living organisms at micro and macro levels - from genes to geniuses.
