    <body><![CDATA[Brilliant non-technical summary of the history and modern advances in evolutionary science. I think the part about the formation of our planet and the Precambrian era with the first multicellular species was particularly intriguing. <br/><br/>I learned a great deal about the origin of mankind (I did not know for example that we were an entirely different branch of the hominids than the homo erectus). In the last chapter Zimmer does a great job revealing the hidden agenda of creationists in the USA and why their vision of the world is not only wrong but also dangerous. <br/><br/>This is a great book. I really enjoyed it. Darwin really would have loved it!]]></body>
