Reseñas

This should be required reading


(5 stars)

for anyone who wants to comment on evolution. Darwin is so thorough and rigorous that I couldn’t find any point where he was wrong. All I could find were gaps that were filled in by later discoveries. The first and last few chapters I thought were the best. The middle, talking about the geological record and geography were somewhat tedious. This being the 6th edition, Darwin responds to many commentaries made about the theory. Makes me want to read the first edition.

Masterful Reading


(5 stars)

Very intelligible, a great rendering of Darwins seminal work. An enjoyable listen. The evolutionary theory still lacks substantial evidence in fossil records. It's very dependent on extreme periods of time that don't line up with cosmology observations. What is the mysterious force that has caused this whole biological, ecological, and cosmological system to work together in such sophisticated harmony - a question not answered in this book.

great read

Audio Review: Very crisp and clear. Really love this recording. There are only a few audible cracks throughout this whole book! Book review: Okay, this book is clearly not written for pure entertainment, but Darwin was so careful with his wording that most of it is still true today. He obviously had a religious audience in mind when he wrote this
