5.0 out of 5 stars an amazing compendium, March 22, 2003

By A Customer

This book is an amazing compendium of interesting facts about the evolution of our genome. It is comprehensive without being boring. I am writing this review in 2003, rather late for a 1999 book, because it is so good I felt it shouldn't be listed on Amazon without at least one review from a reader. I hope that the author will update it with a second edition incorporating new data from the sequencing of the human genome, which was "completed" after this book was published.
