    No, it doesn't. It may be that there was no great gap to be filled here, and in that case, there would be relevant links. If there was a gap, then links to existing works that are similar but don't quite fill it would be helpful.

      There is no well-known definitive book on the subject that can be understood by the average person.

        Which of course may be the fundamental problem of the matter. It seems that Dawkins thinks so.

  The author of one earlier book, Why Evolution Is True, writes a favorable blurb for Dawkins's book (at the posted link). That's gracious of him to praise a competing book. I think the rationale for this new book is that Dawkins is second to none as a story-teller about any subject he writes about. (Edited for spelling correction mentioned in reply below. Thanks.) Further edit to add a link answering the question in the parent of my post: Most of the data showing that evolution is a fact can be found at the TalkOrigins Archive. http://www.talkorigins.org/ http://www.talkorigins.org/ Not a book, but all the facts you could ask for and some very fine writing in parts.

    Dawson = Dawkins, right?
