Synopsis
Using simple explanations of ideas from molecular biology and biochemistry, Neil Shubin demonstrates the flaws in many of the common arguments against evolution, particularly the claim that major transitions between species are impossible. With examples such as feathers on dinosaurs, which originally provided insulation or display, he shows how seemingly inexplicable leaps in evolution came about through gradual adaptations. Slightly off-mint.
