We discussed some additional texts that may be of interest to anyone enjoying Origin of Species last night during our conference call. In case you’re interested in exploring them, here is the list of books mentioned and links of where to find them.
‘The Annotated Origin’ by James Costa (it’s a good supplemental text for the classic ‘Origin’):

Twogreat books about the Cambrian Explosion, albeit from totally differentperspectives (you’ll notice that Conway Morris not-so-subtly dissesGould at some points of his text):
‘Wonderful Life’ by Stephen J. Gould
