I have never read an evolution book which is as friendly as David Sloan Wilson's Evolution For Everyone. Instead of laying down evolutionary ideas in a restrictive jargon where only a few enthusiasts and experts can relate to, Wilson extracted the gists of some evolutionary wisdoms and related them to everyday-life scenarios. I have never imagined appreciating evolution by learning from creatures as tiny and inconspicuous as zooplanktons! :D This book just made me appreciate and love evolution even more! A lot of seemingly disjointed concepts were also discussed in this book and were made to meet in the end. This is definitely a book "for everyone." Whether religious or not, anyone reading this will definitely appreciate the concept of evolution. It's evident everywhere, actually. Only a few keen eyes can see how it's playing. This book may serve as lens so you can watch evolution clearly!If I have five thumbs, I will raise them all! :D
