Nothing short of wonderful. I highly suggest this to the highest know-it-all's to the newly- interested genetics reader.

This,almost 40 years old book,written by one of the 20th century leadings geneticist,whose contributions in genetic of Drosophila and also ones in Synthetic Theory of Evolution are landmarks of modern evolutionary thought,contains polemic exposure of topics,ranging from historical development of Darwinism to such controversial issues as Eugenics,Racial differencies and Future of Mankind shaped by evolutionary trends.All pro and contra arguments are presented together with conclusions,thus giving to reader first-class knowledge of all main aspects of Human Evolution.This book is usefull today,partly because no other author had written insofar such boldly and thorough exposure of such difficult subject,but mostly because of its integrity,clarity and stylistic qualities,and that is what makes this book a classic one.
