Evolution

Any book tagged with this topic is about the study of (primarily human) evolution, or contains significant discussion of evolutionary history. Evolution is the change in any given species over many generations by means of natural selection. The scientific theory of evolution was developed by Charles Darwin in the 19th century and today remains the most logical scientific explanation for species change. The study of evolution is approached through the fields of archaeology and paleoanthropology, among others.
