This book is an upper-level introduction to biological evolution for biology majors, and covers the mechanisms of evolution, the methods of evolutionary analysis, the evolutionary history of life on earth, and why evolution is considered to be the central organizing principle of all modern biology. It covers the whole field and emphasizes what the important concepts are. Care has been taken to express complex and stimulating ideas in simple language, while the frequent examples and running summaries make reading fun. Each part follows logically from the next, so that the course can be read straight through, one part per sitting.
