Can anyone recommend any books about evolution that are not too technical of a read? My mind, for some reason, has a hard time wrapping itself around things of a scientific nature.

Thumbs up

Yahwehyadayada,

I hope you don't mind, but I am going to send this over to the evolution forum. I am sure many of the regulars over there can help you.

BTW, I personally like Richard Dawkins. Easy to read, sometimes a bit detailed, but overall very good.

<a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/067973337X/internetinfidelsA/" target="_blank">Beak of the Finch by Jonathan Weiner</a> is a great read and is used in college programs.
