Why Evolution is True….and Nobody Believes It

Author and U Chicago biology professor Jerry Coyne will give a public lecture called "Why Evolution Is True….and Nobody Believes It" on Monday, March 28 at 6 p.m. at the University of Maryland, College Park Biosciences Research Building (BRB) 1101.

I've read his book "Why Evolution Is True," and I think it's the best single-volume easy-to-read explanation of what evolution is.

The full announcement and campus map with a big blue star over the Biosciences Research Building are below.

The speaker for the first Hellman Lecture is Dr. Jerry A. Coyne, previously a faculty member in the Department of Zoology at Maryland and now Professor of Ecology and Evolution at the University of Chicago.
