The book "The Birth of Complexity." Alexander Markov’s Evolutionary Biology Today exceeded my expectations. I was thinking of reading something like the popular science literature from the NewScience series, and I got a very deep and interesting book in which a really interesting plot was accompanied where you need to dive into the details of chemistry, biology or paleontology. The book contains an inspiring foreword. 9 Enthusiastic chapters composed of small essays linked by a single idea and a conclusion ending with the phrase "this could be a reason to continue the conversation." The title of the chapters of the book is arranged in a harmonious narrative.
- Origin of life
- Planet of microbes
- The Great Symbiosis
- The birth of complexity
- Animals
- The direction of evolution
- Managed mutations
- Whether acquired signs are inherited
- Approaching the unknown In general, I highly recommend the book to read. If I was taught biology this way in school, it could be on my favorite subject list.
