Just finishing this one by Richard Dawkins. In the past he keeps referring to the overwhelming evidence for evolution via natural selection and in this book he goes through some select offers. The examples given are fascinating. It is not a pure science book and he still has his sights still clearly focused on the 40% and 60%ers ie those in the US who literally believe in Noah’s Ark and a young earth and swipes are made at them now and then. At times this leads to a bit of silliness eg why if all species dispersed uniformly from the same point in the middle east 4000-6000 years ago from a big boat do we only get marsupials in Oz and monkeys in some areas and lemurs in others etc however, I guess some people need to hear this.
good read
