Professor Steve Jones (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Jones_(biologist)) of University College London offers us (1999) Darwin’s account of evolution by natural selection illuminated by the findings of twentieth century science.

Jones beautifully expands or enriches Darwin’s themes using Darwin’s examples – pigeons, dogs, farm
