The Making of the Fittest: DNA and the Ultimate Forensic Record of Evolution by Sean B. Carroll.

In 2006 I read The Making of the Fittest: DNA and the Ultimate Forensic Record of Evolution by Sean B. Carroll. I'm reading it again. Even though it's now 12 years old it's still worth reading.

The book repeatedly nails down evolution as fact. The DNA evidence which grows everyday is way beyond overwhelming.

One chapter is about the fucking retards who want to throw out two centuries of scientific progress and replace this science with magical creation, a childish fantasy American morons share with Muslim terrorists.

"The denial of evolution requires the denial of the bedrock of two centuries of biology and geology. That is quite a feat."

"For all of those who do see the overwhelming evidence of natural selection and life's descent from ancestors, and the immense span of time over which the story of life unfolded, it is, to put it mildly, baffling how so many still do not. It is absolutely astonishing and often infuriating that some take it so far as to deny the immense foundation of evidence and to slander all the human achievement that foundation represents."

From a book review:

DNA is the genetic material that defines us as individuals. Over the last two decades, it has emerged as a powerful tool for solving crimes and determining guilt and innocence. But, very recently, an important new aspect of DNA has been revealed―it contains a detailed record of evolution. That is, DNA is a living chronicle of how the marvelous creatures that inhabit our planet have adapted to its many environments, from the freezing waters of the Antarctic to the lush canopy of the rain forest.

In the pages of this highly readable narrative, Sean Carroll guides the general reader on a tour of the massive DNA record of three billion years of evolution to see how the fittest are made. And what a eye-opening tour it is―one featuring immortal genes, fossil genes, and genes that bear the scars of past battles with horrible diseases. This book clinches the case for evolution, beyond any reasonable doubt.
