The Story of Evolution in 25 Discoveries by Donald R. Prothero... Although the theory of evolution has been highly controversial since Darwin first presented it in his famous book, *On the Origin of Species*, in 1859, we continue to find increasing evidence for it from various scientific disciplines. In this lively and engaging book, the author explores the most remarkable achievements of humankind in formulating scientific evidence for evolution. In 25 essays, he tells the stories of scientists who made important discoveries that shaped the theory and helped unravel the mysteries of the fossil record, including Darwin and many others, with each story told in the context of its significance to the advancement of science. The book also includes a collection of fascinating and inspiring anecdotes that provide insights into the workings of evolution, life itself, and what it means for humanity.
