It is written by someone who has done extensive work in genetics, virology and cancer therapies and is a widely renowned expert in these fields.
He presents a rock-solid case for common ancestry between different "kinds" of species, including us and the other great apes.
Graeme also happens to be a Christian. A preacher, no less.
If you are an evolution skeptic, I implore you to read this. Expensive though it is, it is a bargain when compared with the cost of wasting the rest of your life on futile and destructive evolution denial.
The Amazon blurb-
"Controversy over human evolution remains widespread. However, the human genome project and genetic sequencing of many other species have provided myriad precise and unambiguous genetic markers that establish our evolutionary relationships with other mammals. Human Evolution: Genes, Genealogies and Phylogenies identifies and explains these identifiable, rare and complex markers including endogenous retroviruses, genome-modifying transposable elements, gene-disabling mutations, segmental duplications and gene-enabling mutations. The new genetic tools also provide fascinating insights into when and how many features of human biology arose: from aspects of placental structure, vitamin C dependence and trichromatic vision, to tendencies to gout, cardiovascular disease and cancer. Bringing together a decade's worth of research and tying it together to provide an overwhelming argument for the mammalian ancestry of the human species, the book will be of interest to professional scientists and students in both the biological and biomedical sciences."
