Evolution. Darwin's theory of natural selection and what it means for life. New Scientist Essential Guide N6. Edited by Richard Webb.

Super Interesting read. I loved the chapters about Darwin's life and his work on On the Origins of Species, and how decades after with the discovery of the gene and DNA his theory made more sense. From there the chapters deal with the concepts of Evolution, Random Mutations and Natural Selection in a not too technical language. One of latest chapters discusses how "the genetic changes underpinning" Evolution may resemble the workings of the human brain, including the ability to learn.
