This book is very good. I am very impressed by Cynthia Mills' ability to summarize so much information into an enjoyable read. It is easy for me, the lay person, to understand and retain as I progress through the decades. Her examples of the different concepts and terms are clarifying and appreciated.

Ms Mills did a great job. I wish a million people would immediately buy it so she is encouraged to write more books. I think it would be a great book for an introductory course, as it is such a concise overview of theories leading up to Darwin's and continuing to new theories. I especially enjoyed the last quarter of the book as these newer theories are less familiar to me. The bibliography has given me new material to read.

Cynthia Mills has given us an excellent introductory book for the non-scientist. It is intelligently written, easy to read, up to date and accurate. I recommend it most highly to anyone looking for a well-written introduction to the theory of evolution. What is more, it is suitable for intelligent readers of high-school age or beyond.
