A quite good way to start learning about evolution is to read the book Why Evolution Is True, which talks not only about evidence for evolution but also about implications of the theory. Then read the book's website[1] frequently for the latest news. Other good things to read are the books by…

……生物，我不仅能推荐两本书，还能推荐一个免费网站。网站是 29+ Evidences for Macroevolution[1]，我经常在 Hacker News 上向这里的读者推荐它。两本书分别是 Jerry Coyne 的《Why Evolution Is True》[2]和理查德·道金斯的《The Greatest Show on Earth》[3]。两本书都非常通俗易懂、引人入胜，绝对值得一读。近期还有其他关于进化的好书……
…organisms, and I can not only recommend two books, but also a free website. The website is 29+ Evidences for Macroevolution,[1] which I have recommended often to readers here on Hacker News. The books are Why Evolution Is True by Jerry Coyne[2] and The Greatest Show on Earth by Richard Dawkins.[3] Both books are very readable and interesting and well deserve your attention. There are other good recent books about evolution…
……声称是凭空创造出来的）就好像它们有共同祖先一样？无论是在生理上还是在基因上？引用杜布赞斯基的话说：如果没有演化之光，生物学的一切都将毫无意义。Jerry Coyne 的《Why Evolution is True》或许能帮你解开这最后一块谜团。
…claim were created out of thin air) as if they had common ancestors? Both physiologically as well as genetically? To quote Dobzhansky: Nothing in Biology Makes Sense Except in the Light of Evolution. Why Evolution is True by Jerry Coyne might help you resolving that last part of the puzzle.
……否定现实，并且被迫配合某些人的作秀和自我形象表演，否则你就会被扣上“某某恐惧”或“某某主义者”的帽子。——换个话题，推荐去读读 Coyne 的书（《Faith vs Fact》和《Why Evolution Is True》）。强烈推荐。
…denying reality, and being forced to participate in some individuals' theatrics and self-image or else you'll be labeled a -phobic or -ist. --- On a different note, give Coyne's books (Faith vs Fact and Why Evolution Is True) a read. Highly recommended.
