Rezensionen

"If you're one of these people who likes to read Dawkins, Gould and Darwin, I would highly recommend this book. If you doubted that evolution was true before, and then you looked at this book, I don't see how you could possibly continue to question it." Jerry Coyne, author of Faith Versus Fact: Why Science and Religion Are Incompatible
