One of the most important achievements of the past millennium, it did for biology what Galileo did for astronomy: made it into a single science rather than a collection of unrelated facts. Important though Origin remains, its examples and intricate Victorian prose are now a century and a half old. They are ripe for renewal and reaffirmation. Writing as \"Darwin's ghost,\" eminent geneticist Steve Jones updates this seminal work-and restates evolution's case for the 21st century.Jones is a writer of engaging wit and dazzling erudition and has been called \"the British Carl Sagan.\" Using modern examples-the AIDS virus, the puzzles of sexual selection, the physiology and psychology of pets, and the unparalleled genetic success of our own species-he shows the power and immediacy of Darwin's great argument and makes us appreciate how it makes life make sense. Eye-opening and entertaining, filled with astonishing facts, amusing anecdotes, and the very latest research, Darwin's Ghost is contemporary science writing at its very best.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51738793247008,"sku":"NEW0345422775","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/51yXIrK9osL.jpg?v=1779612744","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/darwins-ghost-the-origin-of-species-updated-0345422775","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
