There are countless Evolution courses, tutorials, articles available online, but for some, having a book is still a necessity to learn. This is an up-to-date list of recommended books.
1. Why Evolution Is True (2010)
In the current debate about creationism and intelligent design, there is an element of the controversy that is rarely mentioned-the evidence. Yet the proof of evolution by natural selection is vast, varied, and magnificent. In this succinct and accessible summary of the facts supporting the theory of natural selection, Jerry A. Coyne dispels common misunderstandings and fears about evolution and clearly confirms the scientific truth that supports this amazing process of change. Weaving together the many threads of modern work in genetics, paleontology, geology, molecular biology, and anatomy that demonstrate the “indelible stamp”…
2. Evolution for Everyone: How Darwin’s Theory Can Change the Way We Think About Our Lives (2007)
What is the biological reason for gossip? For laughter? For the creation of art? Why do dogs have curly tails? What can microbes tell us about morality? These and many other questions are tackled by Wilson in this witty and groundbreaking new book. Now everyone can move beyond the sterile debates about creationism and intelligent design to share Darwin’s panoramic view of animal and human life, seamlessly connected to each other. Evolution, as Wilson explains, is not just about dinosaurs and human origins, but about why all species behave as they do—from beetles that devour their own…
3. The Evolution of a Girl (2019)
The Evolution of a Girl is a collection of poetry and prose taking the reader from girl to woman; from heartbreak and anger to transformation and rebirth. It speaks of the strength we find when learning to accept ourselves and the unbreakable softness that comes from unyielding self-love. The Evolution of a Girl is a book for those who are hurting, for those who are healing, and for those who are ready to try again….

5. Evolution 2.0: Breaking the Deadlock Between Darwin and Design (2017)
But today we know NASA astronaut Scott Kelly's body altered its own gene expressions in just one year (!) when he traveled to space and back. His body executed a direct evolutionary response to the rigors of the International Space Station.Such new discoveries demonstrate how obsolete Neo-Darwinian ideas about random mutation were. New knowledge was resisted for decades. Why? Because it overturned entrenched norms, popular beliefs, accepted paradigms.The old-school Darwinism of yesteryear is dead on arrival. It has been replaced with a new synthesis. If…
6. Evolution: Making Sense of Life (2015)
Science writer Carl Zimmer and evolutionary biologist Douglas Emlen have produced a thoroughly revised new edition of their widely praised evolution textbook. Emlen, an award-winning evolutionary biologist at the University of Montana, has infused Evolution: Making Sense of Life with the technical rigor and conceptual depth that today’s biology majors require. Zimmer, an award-winning New York Times columnist, brings compelling storytelling to the book, bringing evolutionary research to life. Students will learn the fundamental concepts of evolutionary theory, such…
7. Dr. Gundry’s Diet Evolution: Turn Off the Genes That Are Killing You and Your Waistline (2009)
Does losing weight and staying healthy feel like a battle? Well, it’s really a war. Your enemies are your own genes, backed by millions of years of evolution, and the only way to win is to outsmart them. Renowned surgeon and founder of Gundry MD, Dr. Steven Gundry’s revolutionary book shares the health secrets other doctors won’t tell you:• Why plants are “good” for you because they’re “bad” for you, and meat is “bad” because it’s “good” for you• Why plateauing on this diet is actually a sign that you’re on the right…
8. Ecology: Evolution, Application, Integration (2015)
Ecology: Evolution, Application, Integration provides students and instructors with a groundbreaking evolutionary approach that transforms ecology from a collection of disassociated facts into an integrated, concept driven discipline. Since most ecological interactions are rooted in adaptive evolution, students learn to place ecological problems in an evolutionary context, thinking critically instead of just memorizing facts. This text develops scientific reasoning skills by teaching students not just what we know about the field, but also how we know what we know about it.Each chapter of Ecology begins with a fundamental ecological question….
9. Extinction Evolution (Extinction Cycle) (Volume 4) (2015)
Central Command is gone, the military is fractured, and the surviving members of Team Ghost, led by Master Sergeant Reed Beckham, have been pushed to the breaking point.

But after a grisly discovery in Atlanta,…
10. No Light (Werelock Evolution) (2018)
He was supposed to be an easy target. I had a clean shot at him while his back was turned and his pants were down. I wasn’t supposed to get distracted by his scent … or by the sight of his perfectly sculpted naked ass cheeks on display. He was never supposed to turn around and see me.Or start stripping the rest of his clothes off. And the greatest threat to my daughter’s life definitely wasn’t supposed to start kissing me—after I’d just shot him five times. 100k word, full-length novel. HEA with NO cheating. Although this is book #4 in the Werelock Evolution series…
11. Evolution: Still a Theory in Crisis (2016)
More than thirty years after his landmark book Evolution: A Theory in Crisis (1985), biologist Michael Denton revisits his earlier thesis about the inability of Darwinian evolution to explain the history of life. He argues that there remains “an irresistible consilience of evidence for rejecting Darwinian cumulative selection as the major driving force of evolution.” From the origin of life to the origin of human language, the great divisions in the natural order are still as profound as ever, and they are still unsupported by the series of adaptive transitional…
Evolution, e-volution – sua biblioteca conectada com o futuro. A biblioteca digital multimídia para o aprendizado inteligente. The best books to read on evolution. Evolutionary biologist Jerry Coyne picks his top five and engagingly explains his choices. “It is very difficult to evolve by altering the deep fabric of life; any change there is likely to be lethal. But fundamental change can be accomplished by the addition of new systems on top of old ones…Thus evolution by addition and the functional preservation of the preexisting structure must occur for one of two reasons-either the old List of popular science books on evolution. Jump to navigation Jump to search. This is a list of popular science books concerning evolution, sorted by surname of the author. This literature-related list is While I do love Dawkins’ books, this list is way too Dawkins top-heavy. And somewhat baffling, River Out of Eden is in the top 5. Considering that this book is mostly a rehash of his previous books, I’m amazed that it’s so high up on the list.
We highly recommend you to buy all paper or e-books in a legal way, for example, on Amazon. But sometimes it might be a need to dig deeper beyond the shiny book cover. Before making a purchase, you can visit resources like Genesis and download some evolution books mentioned below at your own risk. Once again, we do not host any illegal or copyrighted files, but simply give our visitors a choice and hope they will make a wise decision.
