Description for The Evidence for Evolution
Paperback. How do we know that species change? Has there really been enough time for evolution to operate? This title details the evidence for evolution. It covers different levels of evolution, from within-species changes, which are much less challenging to see and believe, to much larger ones, say, from fish to amphibian, or from land mammal to whale.

Reviews for The Evidence for Evolution
"A well-written and timely book. Rogers has the unique ability to present complicated and seemingly illogical ideas in a very coherent way." (Christina Richards, University of South Florida)"
