Evolution helps us understand our own humble place in the rich tapestry of life. But what do we know about the theory of evolution itself? Based on the popular podcast of the same name, Evolution Talk reveals how the theory of evolution came to be and how it explains the world around us. Before Charles Darwin, other luminaries planted the seeds that would one day evolve into the theory that would make him famous. Author Rick Coste begins by shining a spotlight on the writers, philosophers, and scientists who planted the seeds that would blossom into the theory of evolution by natural selection, from Aristotle' s big ideas to young Mary Anning' s discovery of the first ichthyosaur skeleton. After exploring the contributions of Charles Darwin and Alfred Russel Wallace, Evolution Talk investigates the very beginnings of life itself. From its genesis in a primordial pond to the endless and beautiful forms which emerged to populate our once barren little planet, adaptations such as altruism, sexual selection, and brains further pushed life along its amazing path to today. Finally, Coste concludes by taking a step back to ask questions about how we as humans fit in, such as "Are we unique? " and "Are we still evolving? "Breaking down complex concepts with easy-to-follow language and engaging examples, Evolution Talk will educate and entertain any reader looking to learn more about the greatest idea ever.
Rick Coste has written and produced 14 podcast series which have entertained and educated a worldwide audience of over one million listeners. An avid reader, his lifelong love of science led him to write, produce, and host the science education show Evolution Talk, which currently ranks in the top 100 of Apple' s Natural Sciences category. Coste' s work as a writer and producer was featured in the nightly television series NHChronicle (on ABC affiliate WMUR). For more information visit EvolutionTalk. com.
