Textbook Information
Futuyma (State University of New York-Stony Brook) begins this accessible and attractive text for undergraduates with phylogeny as a framework for inferring history, and history as the natural perspective for evolutionary biology. Information on human evolution is distributed throughout. A final chapter addresses the evidence for evolution, the nature of science, and the failings of creationism. Pedagogical features include chapter summaries, problems, and discussion topics, plus color photos. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
