Arguing for Evolution: An Encyclopedia for Understanding Science provides
readers with a single source for the scientific evidence supporting evolution.
The book shows how scientists have tested the predictions of evolutionary
theory and created an unshakeable foundation of evidence supporting its truth.
As such, it demonstrates how evolution serves as a case study for understanding
the scientific method and presents a logical model for scientific inquiry.
The evidence for evolution is presented historically and topically in an
accessible, example-rich, and logical format, using an arsenal of examples that
goes beyond the typical textbook matter. The chapters are structured around
a series of hypotheses that the authors put to the test, amassing evidence on
fossils, comparative anatomy, molecules, and evolutionary biology in order to
conclude that evolution is scientific fact. Learning about this fascinating
field is enhanced through "see for yourself" examples that include original
data and figures from key historical and contemporary papers in evolutionary
biology.
