Yet the proof of evolution by natural selection is vast, varied, and magnificent. In this succinct and accessible summary of the facts supporting the theory of natural selection, Jerry A. Coyne dispels common misunderstandings and fears about evolution and clearly confirms the scientific truth that supports this amazing process of change. Weaving 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, \u003ci\u003eWhy Evolution Is True\u003c\/i\u003e does not aim to prove creationism wrong. Rather, by using irrefutable evidence, it sets out to prove evolution right.\"Coyne's book is the best general explication of evolution that I know of and deserves its success as a best seller.\" \u003cbr\u003e -R.C.
