• Ideally suited in length and content for one-semester undergraduate evolution courses.
• A strong art program enhances the text and visual appeal of the content.
• Provides an abundance of empirical examples for each major concept.
• Interactive elements such as self-assessment questions, interactive figures, data exercises with real data sets, simulation exercises, and videos help engage students with the content.
• Addresses major themes - including the history of evolution, evolutionary processes, adaptation, and evolution as an explanatory framework - at levels of biological organization ranging from genomes to ecological communities
• Chapters build on each other in an easy-to-understand progression.

    
The gold standard in undergraduate-level evolutionary biology textbooks.
    
This new fifth edition presents the field of evolution as a living, breathing science. Extensively revised for clarity and currency, Evolution, 5th Edition, includes updated coverage in evolutionary genetics and genomics to illustrate the rapidly moving science of evolution and emphasizes the interplay between theory and empirical test hypotheses, acquainting students with the process of science. Evolution is available in a dynamic interactive enhanced e-book that allows students hone their problem-solving and data analysis skills while seeing the evolution in the context of their life.
