5.0 out of 5 stars
Splendid treatise on mutation,
By Matthew C. Keller "grad_student_in_a-squared" (Ann Arbor, MI United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Mendel's Demon: Gene Justice and the Complexity of Life (Hardcover)
I won't write a long review here. Suffice it to say that this is one of the best books on evolutionary theory I have read in a while, and it is a fascinating and detailed look into one of the most fundamental aspects of our living world: mutation... without which there would be no genetic variation and, therefore, no life. Ridley's thesis is that the limit on the evolution of complex life is in overcoming the problem of mutation. This book is engagingly written and convincing. I would think that any evolutionary biologist or geneticist would find this a must read. Truly inspiring.
