Description: Today, evolutionary biology is more than an explanatory concept. It is indispensable to our world. This book provides the first truly accessible and balanced account of how evolution has become a tool with applications that are thoroughly integrated, and deeply useful, in our everyday lives and our societies, often in ways that we do not realize.
