Review of "Darwin's Dangerous Idea" on 'Goodreads'

5 stars

Do not read this if you're looking for a nice pop-sci book on evolution. This book is an incredibly, and probably to some, overly, thorough overview of Darwin's idea from conception in biology through to it's application to human ethics and everything in between.

That said, whether you agree with how broadly he feels Darwin's idea can be applied this book is fascinating and demonstrates that not only is it plausible that a simple algorithmic process brought us to where we are today but that it's also very likely.
