Leider ein sehr oberflächliches Buch. Der Autor versucht die Bedeutung Darwins, für die moderne Biologie zu betonen, was ihm auch gelingt, aber die Darstellung der Biologie, ist bestenfalls oberflächlich, in einzelnen Fällen wenn es um die Randgebiete geht schlicht falsch. Für Einsteiger, die sich von Darwin fazinieren lassen wollen, noch geeignet. Für alle, die schon eine gewisse Kenntnis von Biologie und Evolution haben, ist es zu flach.
