Hi everyone,

I just wanted to ask for the titles of some books on Modern Theorys of evolution.

Rufus? Where are you, Rufus?

We've actually been idly assembling such a list in private discussion. It's a good question -- we'll try to get off our butts and post a list soon.

I'll get it up tonight. I promise.

Your wife will be glad to hear that, but we were hoping for a list of books.

I dunno. Maybe she'd rather have the books, too.

You better be nice if you want the list.

Do take a look at "Get a Grip on Evolution" David Burnie 1999:Ivy Press.

Very good for beginners

This list of evolution books might be helpful for you, though I was wondering how Duane Gish's book got in there. And there are a lot of listmania booklists in Amazon.Com.

Best intro I've read is still Steve Jones' Almost Like a Whale/Darwin's Ghost. You can start from there.

I'd add Ernst Mayr's "What Evolution Is" to that list too.

Isn't it already nighttime in your neck of the woods? We infidels would like to see your list. I hope you post it as a sticky-post, just like what Peter Kirby did for his list of recommendations in the BC&A forum.
