The most compelling novel I have read for a long, long time. And that is what it spans – a long, long time. From the days of Primordial soup to some time in the future.
‘“Evolution” is a soaring symphony of struggle, extinction, and survival, a dazzling epic that combines a dozen scientific disciplines and a cast of unforgettable characters to convey the grand drama of evolution in all its awesome majesty and rigorous beauty.’
This is a book that can be compared to standing in the garden and staring at the stars on a dark bight. It puts one in one’s place and makes those day to day worries seem pretty trivial after all.
