Title : The Greatest Show on Earth
Author : Richard Dawkins
Year Published : 2009
Rating :4.9
Summary : In this book, Dawkins brought us to embark an in depth journey presenting the evidence of evolution from the famous fossil findings to molecular evidence of evolution. The book uses the analogy of detective coming late at the crime scene helps in understanding the process the conclusion is drawn and the absurdity of the rejection of the theory. Dawkins also presented various example of evolution and 'design flaw' in many organism much to the fallacy of the theory of Intelligent Design.
My thoughts : It is a great book to read with little big words (and the meanings are explained), one does not need much linguistic skill to read the book. It is fascinating as to how the nature shaped a lot of different living beings through the random process of natural selection. Those with advantageous random mutation will pass on the genes while those without it are unlikely to do so.
