The New York Book Review has a great review by Edward Ziff and Israel Rosenfield of three forthcoming books on evolution. What makes the review so great also is that it describes the development of the idea of evolution, from the feeble beginnings of comparisons between dolphin fins and bird wings, through Darwin’s theory of evolution, to the modern synthesis of evolutionary theory and the linking of genes to evolution, variation and reproduction. It’s a highly recommendable read.
