The Tangled Tree: A Radical New History of Life

by

In 'The Tangled Tree,' David Quammen explores the new science of molecular phylogenetics, which has radically changed our understanding of evolution and the history of life. The book delves into the discovery of horizontal gene transfer and its implications for the tree of life, challenging the traditional view of evolution as a linear process.
