Kaas en de evolutietheorie vertelt hoe de evolutietheorie van Charles Darwin een licht werpt op alledaagse vragen als: Waarom sterven wij? Wat is goed en kwaad? Hoe is kaas uitgevonden? Deel één gaat over de evolutietheorie zelf: niet over fossielen, dinosaurussen en Neanderthalers, maar over de mechanismen van de evolutie. Hoe werkt de evolutie? En hoe kunnen we de evolutie waarnemen door goed om ons heen te kijken? De evolutietheorie blijkt eigenlijk heel simpel en logisch in elkaar te zitte...

Opmerkingen

1. Kaas en de Evolutietheorie is een topper - Het is een boek dat gelezen kan worden van jong tot oud die zich op een objectieve manier willen verdiepen in de evolutietheorie. Bas Haring gaat van het ene treffende voorbeeld naar het andere treffende voorbeeld. De enige kritische opmerking die ik kan bedenken is dat soms dingen worden uitgelegd die neigen naar het vormen van misconcepten als je totaal nog geen kennis hebt opgedaan van de evolutietheorie. Buitenom dit kleine puntje is het een topper. De (!) pagina's heb ik met ontzettend veel plezier gelezen
