Negative Positive
Title: Concise, without esoterica
Review: For the average person who does not have a degree in molecular biology or advanced genetics, this book is very helpful to set forth the basic premises of evolutionary theory and to debunk the 14th century, Ptolemaic worldview advanced by the creationist camp. The major complaint I can foresee creationists having about the book is the lack of need for a god in the evolutionary process. The book never takes up the question of the exitstence of God, and rightly so, since this question is irrelevant to the study of the origin of life. Berra answers the questions he sets forth to answer. While members of the biology academic elite will find it too simplified, it was perfect for the layman such as I.
