Almost Like a Whale
Steve Jones's book Almost like a Whale is a modern introduction to Charles Darwin's Origin of Species, and closely follows its structure.
The sub title is: the origin of species updated. It was first published in London and New York by Doubleday in 1999 with ISBN 0385409850.
The title refers to Darwin's observation that a bear, swimming in a lake and catching insects in its mouth, might conceivably evolve over time into a creature "almost like a whale". This statement attracted much ridicule at the time.
