Review: Macroevolutionaries

As a long-time fan of the books by paleontologist Stephen Jay Gould, I was delighted to read this book by his fellow scientists. It covers the advancements in the field in significant depth since Gould's death, to be certain, but it is also a riveting example of how science works and changes over time. Researchers argue over, change or discard ideas—and this is critical—when new evidence shows up, and only then (not on a whim or solely to prop up an orthodoxy). Very highly recommended.
