THE TANGLED TREE A Radical New History of Life

Do you like science? How about matters of DNA, species origins, and evolution? Do terms like "archaea," "prokaryotes," "eukaryotes," and "horizontal gene transfer" enthrall you? If so, you are in luck. THE TANGLED TREE is a deep dive into what makes us--us. It's about how interconnected all living things are. As narrated quite nicely by Jacques Roy, this listen offers insights into how scientists continue to build on Darwin's theory of evolution. At times, the science concepts can be daunting. But author Quammen sprinkles in just enough human interest stories, combined with Roy's fluid and engaging style, to create a good listen--as long as you really, really like science.
