The Making Of The Fittest by Sean Carroll
DNA and the Ultimate Forensic Record of Evolution
A clear, accessible account of how DNA serves as a forensic record of evolution, using concrete molecular examples—shared mutations, pseudogenes, endogenous retroviruses, gene duplications, and patterns in gene sequences—to demonstrate common descent and adaptive change; through readable case studies and explanations of phylogenetic and population-genetic methods, it shows how mutation, natural selection, and chance have shaped species and provides compelling tests that distinguish evolutionary explanations from non-evolutionary ones.
