Acerca de esta escucha

Spectacular fossil finds make today's headlines; new technology unlocks secrets of skeletons unearthed 100 years ago. Still, evolution is often poorly represented by the media and misunderstood by the public. A potent antidote to pseudoscience, Written in Stone is an engrossing history of evolutionary discovery for anyone who has marveled at the variety and richness of life.

I really appreciate the depth of research and understanding that is shared by the author. I knew aspects (whale origins) but Switek went into far greater detail across earth's history and with great interest. Well worth reading if interested in life and the earth.

Evolution detailed

He also reads fairly flatly. If it doesn’t bother you that he obviously didn’t Google any of the words beforehand, then you’ll probably love it.

Narrator mispronounces a lot of words

I enjoyed 95% of this book. A captivating recounting of the story of the key fossils in our current understanding evolution. However the author strays into metaphysical speculation that lacks nuance and sophistication. He wines about religion like a 15 year old atheist, not realizing his opposition itself is freighted with terms that imply some pre-rational valuation. Yes biological evolution is a fact, but it’s ultimate meaning like it or not takes the shape of a faith. Glass houses and all that

Very good but has some weaknesses

Well written and read. Thanks for the pdf as well. This work drills another hole in all religious and dogmatic thought that articulates nonsensical fairy tales for the natural history of life! I am industrial scientist and understood this work pretty well, since author patiently summarizes scientific milestones and their philosophical implications at every stage.

A great introduction to (aspects of) history of science
