À propos de cet audio
In all the current highly publicized debates about creationism and its descendant "intelligent design", there is an element of the controversy that is rarely mentioned: the evidence, the empirical truth of evolution by natural selection. Even Richard Dawkins and Stephen Jay Gould, while extolling the beauty of evolution and examining case studies, have not focused on the evidence itself. Yet the proof is vast, varied, and magnificent, drawn from many different fields of science. Scientists are observing species splitting into two and are finding more and more fossils capturing change in the past - dinosaurs that have sprouted feathers, fish that have grown limbs.
Why Evolution Is True weaves together the many threads of modern work in genetics, paleontology, geology, molecular biology, and anatomy that demonstrate the "indelible stamp" of the processes first proposed by Darwin. In crisp, lucid prose accessible to a wide audience, Why Evolution Is True dispels common misunderstandings and fears about evolution and clearly confirms that this amazing process of change has been firmly established as a scientific truth.
NOTE: Some changes to the original text have been made with the author's approval.

"Coyne wonders what it would take to convince the apparently reasonable people who still deny evolution. A new Milton, perhaps, to justify evolution's ways in great poetry? Meanwhile, at a time...when good evolution books are rife, Coyne has given general readers one of the best." ( Booklist)

Unbelievably well researched
Well, the title says it all. This is just a book describing some of the scientific evidence supporting the “Theory” of evolution. I think one of the most resounding memories for me is the difference between a Scientific Theory and a pseudo scientific religious argument. You don’t need to be an atheist to enjoy this book. Even the pope believes in Evolution. This is just a well researched book on why evolution has been the predominant scientific explanation for well over 100 years.

A great introduction into evolutionary concepts
An easy to follow account of the concepts of evolution. I would say the biology covered in this book requires a high school senior level understanding. Be prepared for around 5% of the book to be arguments against intelligent design, it is not why I picked it up but nevertheless it was a small enough portion of the book to be tolerable.

The evidence for evolution
Highly recommended especially for people that are looking for the facts behind evolution, it is very clear an concise presenting the irrefutable evidence that evolution is a fact.
I liked all chapters but the last one Evolution redux goes to the details of why people have problems to accept evolution, that chapters itself makes it worthwhile to read the book.
The narration is also very good

Great examples of evolution
I’m not interested in reading about why the creationists’ ideas are wrong and a lot of evolution books spend a lot of time trying to prove how evolution is right and creationists are wrong. There was a bit of that in this book but not bad. Mostly it was a good description of the many ways in which evolution has worked on every creature on earth and how extraordinary all life forms are as a result. Truly awe-inspiring.
