Offers an exploration of how our understanding of evolution is key to the future of our planet. This title argues that understanding evolution has never mattered more in human history. It explains how health, food production, and human impact on the environment are dependent on our knowledge of evolution.
This persuasive, elegantly written book argues that understanding evolution has never mattered more in human history. The author uses evidence from archaeology, geography, anatomy, biochemistry, radiometric dating, cell biology, chromosomes, and DNA to establish the inescapable conclusion that we evolved and are still evolving. He also explains in detail how health, food production, and human impact on the environment are dependent on our knowledge of evolution. This is essential reading for gaining a fuller appreciation of who we are, our place in the great expanse of life, and the importance of our actions.

Daniel J. Fairbanks is Associate Dean of Science and Health at Utah Valley University, and a distinguished research geneticist.
