Carl Zimmer's writing is scholarly without being pretentious. You won't need a PhD to grasp his concepts and his enthusiasm for the subject matter is contagious. This book doesn't just describe the science of human evolution, it celebrates it!

Like a series of Discover articles, up-to-date, lots of nice photos, graphs, and charts. A useful primer on the topic.
