Synopsis:

Illustrated by the brilliant duo Kevin Cannon and Zander Cannon, this volume is written by the noted comic author and professor of biology Jay Hosler. "Evolution" features the same characters introduced in the highly regarded "The Stuff of Life: A Graphic Guide to Genetics and DNA", now here to explain the fundamentals of the evolution of life on earth. On the heels of explaining to his planetary leader the intricacies of human genetics in "The Stuff of Life", the intrepid alien scientist Bloort-183 is charged in this sequel with covering the wider story of evolution. Using the same storytelling conceit that "Plenty" magazine declared "so charming that you won't even notice you've absorbed an entire scientific field" and that caused Seed to pick "The Stuff of Life" as a best book of 2008, "Evolution" brilliantly answers Wired's demand, "What's the solution to America's crisis in science education? More comic books!"
