I got this book for free from the author's website. Mr. Marshall is a former professor of mine and BU. He wrote this book quite some time ago, but it remains a wonderful primer about evolution. During the early days of the Covid-19 lock down, I read a chapter a day with my two middle school aged daughters. It was a great refresher course for me in both biology and anthropology (classes I took many, many years ago). I enjoyed it a great deal, and I think that they did, too.

Fantastic book that is simple to understand. This was my first book in reading on evolution.
