Descrição: 394 pp. $59.95/£29.99 Laurence D. Hurst compares two seasoned authors' strategies for explaining the difference between evolution fact and fantasy - Richard Dawkins's thunder and Carl Zimmer's poise. Zimmer doesn't counterpoint the facts of evolution with creationist assertions but biblical literalism stalks the pages like the elephant in the room. Both, for example, fail to explain why proteins accumulate changes at a steady rate regardless of an organism's lifespan, by using the same simplified explanation that predicts more rapid changes in short-lived species.
