I have bought and read 7 books about the evidence for evolution and how evolution works. All these books are excellent but if someone wanted to buy just one book about evolution I would recommend "Your Inner Fish".
AMAZON - Your Inner Fish: A Journey into the 3.5-Billion-Year History of the Human Body Hardcover – January 15, 2008 by Neil Shubin
Out of the 7 books about evolution I own, this is the only book that completely ignores the know-nothing science deniers. The author just assumes these morons for Jeebus don't exist.
Shubin explains the 3.5 billion year history of life and it is a fantastic story.
From page 135 of the hardcover book:
"In the fossil record, we see nothing but microbes for the 1st 3.5 billion years of earth history. Then, suddenly, over a span of perhaps 40 million years, all kinds of bodies appear."
What happened? I suggest buying the book because the explanation is too long to write here.
Hint: About one billion years ago the amount of oxygen increased dramatically.
I only read books about science that are very interesting and easy to understand, and that's one of the reasons I recommend Shubin's book. I suggest read the Amazon customer reviews at Amazon product reviews.
