Improbable Destinies: Fate, Chance, and the Future of Evolution by Jonathan B. Losos

4.0

This is one of the better pop-science books I've read. Losos does a great job explaining many different scientific experiments and how they fit into broader theories of evolution. I appreciated that nothing was overly-dumbed down or one-sided. Losos presents a variety of conflicting but not always mutually exclusive ideas that provide nuance to his ultimate argument about the predictability and repeatability of evolution. The book was full of evidence, yet did not feel like a list as some pop-science books I've read have been. Overall an enjoyable, engaging, and informative read.
