Pocket Evolution

Evolution describes how species change across generations. This book explains the subject through short questions and answers, from Darwin’s theories to modern genetics. It discusses fossils, adaptation, heredity, natural selection, and speciation in a way that connects biology with the history of life.

Readers will find explanations of variation, mutation, and the forces that drive both small and large evolutionary change. Ideas such as convergent and divergent evolution, reproductive isolation, and genetic drift are presented alongside topics like stratigraphy, paleontology, and the study of fossils.

Organized by chapter, the question-and-answer format supports both study and review, making it suitable for students, teachers, and readers with an interest in evolutionary science.
