literature The Greatest Show on Earth

[Oshawott]

I read a book by Richard Dawkins (The author of God delusion) titled - 'The Greatest Show on Earth'.

Its about how evolution is the roadmap to understanding the diversity of both flora and fauna in the world around us. It points out every questions that is usually asked by 'creationists' and why those arguments are flawed and what is the science that works behind evolution.

Meticulously written, well researched and wonderfully illustrated.

My ration: 9 in 10

Note: Just a heads up, its a little complicated read, so its not for beginners.

I have heard of the author but I am not familiar with the book. I am very much interested in cultural and social anthropology, so I believe it could be a good read for me as well.

The book focuses more on scientific anthropology.

It is very technical that you will enjoy it only when you have a deep interest and maybe some background knowledge in the topic.

He attempted to make it simple, but a subject like evolution cannot be made too simple also.
