Improbable Destinies: Fate, Chance, and the Future of Evolution by Jonathan B. Losos

3.0

Improbable Destinies is very informative about evolution, especially the genetics of it. I found the sections about the similarities between cross continental evolution very interesting. I appreciated that the experiments were explained in a fairly easy to understand manner. It makes scientific studies more accessible to someone not working in the field. Certain sections were more interesting than others. And some sections were boring and redundant. There were pages and pages of experiments with lizards and guppies in detail. Informative, yes. A little dry, also yes. I learned new information from this book, but wished it was a bit more captivating.
