📘 Why evolution is true by Jerry A. Coyne

Why Evolution Is True presents a clear, evidence‑rich argument that evolution by natural selection is not merely a theory but a well‑established scientific fact. Drawing on contemporary research from genetics, paleontology, geology, molecular biology, and anatomy, the book chronicles observable speciation, fossil evidence of transitional forms such as feathered dinosaurs and limb‑developing fish, and the genetic mechanisms that underpin biological change. Coyne’s accessible prose dispels common misconceptions and fears surrounding evolution, making the case that the processes first outlined by Darwin are continuously confirmed by empirical data across multiple scientific disciplines.
