Review: The Greatest Show on Earth: The Evidence for Evolution


The Greatest Show on Earth: The Evidence for Evolution
The Greatest Show on Earth: The Evidence for Evolution by Richard Dawkins

My rating: 3 of 5 stars



Dawkins really fights the fight for evolution. Part of me wishes he would write about the wonders of biological diversity and not worry about convincing Creationists. Aside from Dawkins' cogent reasoning and evidence for the factual basis for evolution, more compelling material comes from Dawkins reveling in such wonders of nature as the wandering vagus nerve exhibited in a giraffe necropsy, UV flower markings, complex pollen spreading, or sharing revulsion in wasps parisitizing live tarantulas.

This audiobook edition is effectively co-narrated by Richard Dawkins and Lalla Ward with tones indicating when to review a downloadable reference guide.
