Review "Take one man who rejects authority and religion, and leads a punk band. Take another man who wonders whether vertebrates arose in rivers or in the ocean, is fascinated by evolution, creativity, and Ice Age animals. Put them together, what do you get? Greg Graffin, and this uniquely fascinating book." -- Jared Diamond, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Guns, Germs, and Steel and Collapse "A worldview eloquently expressed." -- Chicago Tribune "[Graffin] explains how evolution can be a guide to life." -- Scientific American "Humble, challenging, and inspiring... For Graffin, the appeal of both worlds was that, at their best, they challenged authority, dogma and given truths and opened up space for the anarchic process of creativity." -- Kirkus Reviews (starred review) "Graffin is one of those rare people who seem to have combined two lives into one. Hes one of a small but growing number of atheists in the United States willing to talk about the damage they believe religion can do." -- Paste "Bucking authority and the religious views of his family, Graffin explains how he has developed a personal philosophy that celebrates the power of nature." -- Nature "Anarchy Evolution sets out to draw connections between evolution, naturalist thought and punk, an undertaking that might sound rife with the potential to be reachy-or preachy. But Graffin and Olson manage to weave the seemingly disparate concepts together into a satisfying narrative." -- LA Weekly "Whether youre a believer, an atheist, an agnostic, or anything in between, this is a necessary book." -- PopMatters Review Quote "Whether youre a believer, an atheist, an agnostic, or anything in between, this is a necessary book." Description for Teachers/Educators As a teenager, Greg Graffin discovered that the study of evolution provided a framework through which he could make sense of the world. He would go on to earn a Ph.D. in zoology, and teaches at UCLA. But Graffin also had a great love of music and is known to most people as the lead singer and founding member of legendary punk band Bad Religion. In the provocative and personal Anarchy Evolution, Graffin argues that art and science have a deep connection. He traces the formation of his naturalist worldview, providing fresh insights into the long-standing debate about atheism and the human condition. This is a book for anyone who has ever wondered if God really exists, and whether or not it matters.
