Evolution

Více o knize

An accessible graphic introduction to evolution for the most science-phobic reader, this volume is illustrated by the talented duo Kevin Cannon and Zander Cannon, and written by comic author and biology professor Jay Hosler. Featuring the same characters from the acclaimed work on genetics, this sequel follows the alien scientist Bloort-183 as he explains the fundamentals of evolution. After detailing human genetics, Bloort-183 is tasked with covering the broader story of evolution. The storytelling approach is so engaging that readers may not realize they’re absorbing an entire scientific field. This graphic work addresses the pressing need for improved science education in America, as highlighted by publications advocating for more comic books in the curriculum. It takes readers on a journey from Earth’s primordial soup to the vestigial structures found in modern humans, such as the coccyx and male nipple. The Cannons’ award-winning illustrations make complex concepts clear while adding a comedic touch. With Hosler’s expertise as a biology teacher and creator of science comics recognized by the National Science Foundation and NPR, this work stands out as a vital resource for understanding evolution.
