At the Water's Edge by Carl Zimmer
How did we ever get ashore? How did we make legs, arms and our extremely complex intelligence? Evolution is one of the most hotly debated areas of popular science. With this book, the author presents an accessible account of one of evolution's great mysteries - how microbes turned into humans.
