Synopsis
Science journalist and author Roger Lewin shows readers how the tools of biology are transforming the way in which evolution is viewed. The advent of genetic analysis, sometimes of DNA extracted from the remains of creatures that lived thousands of years ago, has enabled scientists to remap the history of life, and has led to findings about evolutionary lineages and aspects of modern animal behaviour.

Review
Patterns Of Evolution reveals how amazing new tools of molecular biology are reshaping modern natural history. Powerful methods of analyzing DNA extracted from organisms (whether living or dead for thousands, even millions of years) are giving biologists access to the most fundamental information of life: genes and how they change through time. The scope of the information DNA analysis is able to provide is enormous, spanning everything from questions of present-day behavior to the ancient problems of the origin of life and its earliest forms. Evolutionary biologists put these new genetic tools to creative use in their studies of ecology and animal behavior, infection disease, mating patterns, and so much more! Roger Lewin is a gifted science writer with a storyteller's flair, bringing to vivid life the investigations that are revealing as both the history of life and the mechanisms by which that life has evolved. -- Midwest Book Review
