【29個主題，層層遞進，帶你發掘演化的線索】
你知道生物「演化」是怎麼一回事嗎？其實直到大約250年前，「演化」這個詞才出現在生物學中。從前的人並不知道為什麼這個世界上有如此豐富多樣的生物，以及生物為什麼能適應各自的生存環境。但是人們試圖解釋這些現象，於是神的角色登場了。許多文化中，都有關於創造世界的神話故事。
一八五八年，達爾文提出了「自然選擇說」，這個科學假說無需神的存在也能夠解釋生物的適應現象。他以深入的生態觀察，建構出清晰的邏輯論述，啟發了人們對生物的理解。
往後的兩百多年來，科學家們持續發現新事實，提出了新的演化觀點，當然也伴隨著質疑和挑戰。依循邏輯和證據，將能更接近生命科學的真相──「演化論」也在演化當中。
書本舉出多種生物為例，用科學觀點說明生物「為何」、「如何」發展出這些奇特生態，並闡述演化論的歷史以及未來的發展。一起踏上演化論的探險之旅吧！
【精采主題搶先看】
●為什麼有不工作的螞蟻？●
讓我們用人類中愛乾淨的人和不那麼愛乾淨的人來說明。
假設有一群人在同一個房間內生活，而他們對乾淨的容忍「程度」各不相同。隨著時間的經過，房間將變得愈來愈亂。這時候，誰會開始打掃呢？沒錯，愛乾淨的人。愛乾淨的人無法忍受房間的凌亂，所以一旦房間稍微有些凌亂，他們就會開始打掃。
好了，現在房間乾淨了，大家又繼續在房間裡生活，然後房間再次變得凌亂。這時候誰會來打掃呢？沒錯，還是愛乾淨的人。
這時的重點在於，如果愛乾淨的人累到無法打掃，使房間變得更凌亂時，那麼「沒那麼愛乾淨的人會開始打掃了」，因為他們也無法忍受超過一定程度的凌亂。
螞蟻的情況與此類似。不工作的螞蟻並不是在偷懶，而是在工作刺激超過一定程度時才會開始工作。
●拉馬克的「用進廢退說」●
科學史上，科學家們提出了各式各樣的假說，並經過許多人的驗證，只有不會產生矛盾的假說才能存續下來。拉馬克提出了有一致性邏輯，且可驗證的「用進廢退說」，取代了先前「生物由神創造，且永不發生變化」這個無法以科學方法檢驗的假說。我們不應忘記拉馬克對科學的貢獻。
此外，我們也不能忘記他打破了「生物不會演化」的觀念。他將生物的演化納入科學研究的範疇，這件事在科學史上的意義重大。
●怎樣比較有利？性之謎●
性別對人類來說是一個根本的特徵。如果沒有性別，或許世界上就會少了許多戀愛糾紛之類的煩惱。
從生物學的角度來看，性的本質簡單來說是「繁殖後代時，將其他個體之部分基因融入自身基因中的行為」。
能夠產下孩子的是雌性。如果第一子代中有一半是雄性，那麼第二子代的個體數也會減半。但如果是無性生殖的話，所有的子代都可以產出下一代，所以不會有這個問題。這表示，出現性別後，適存度就會突然降低一半，這被稱做「有性生殖的兩倍成本」。

Omegaverse with rival families.
Format: Kindle
Tatum is trying to raise enough money to treat her omega mother who has fallen catatonic due to the death of her mate. To make the money she needs she agrees to work at a gentleman's club scantily dressed. There she meets the twin Hayes brothers, Declan and Kodiak, what she doesn't know is that their younger half brother is the high school sweetheart that ghosted her after helping with her first heat. Tatum also meets Easton, the mysterious male omega that pops into her life but she finds herself strongly attracted to.
I enjoyed all the characters, even those that were not major characters, the plot was good, the storyline was well done. I would recommend this book if you liked Omegaverse stories, mafia storylines, and good romance with why choose.

Loved it!
Format: Kindle
Who doesn’t love morally grey men obsessed with their omega who isn’t afraid to call them out on their unacceptable behavior and make them grovel?
Tatum really is a survivor through and through. She is willing to do anything to get her mother the help she needs, even deal with the man her broke her heart.
If you love brothers playing jokes, crazy stabby omegas and rich men being told no, you will enjoy this book. Great spice and great ending.

Omega survival mode
Format: Kindle
Tatum is an Omega who has been suppressing herself since she had a heartbreaking fallout after her first heat. The boy she loved ghosted her after it was over.
Tatum lost her father when she was just 8 and her mother struggled to survive until Tatum got to be an adult and was unable to keep pushing. So now Tatum is being the parent and she needs a better paying job so she can afford to put her mother in a care facility until she is better.
When she finds a job posting for Haze Instincts she knows they take care of their Omega staff and if she is a dancer or maybe something more she will be able to catch up on bills and get her mom taken care of.
As she is exposed to a few different irresistible Alphas she is forced to remember who she is and face everything she has been running from. Will she be able to accept all of her Omega nature, get her mother the care she needs, form a pack and let go of the past?
This book was sad and sweet too. Tatum has been through so much and she doesn't know how everything fits together. As the pieces fit into the puzzle she has to choose a future even if it is scary.
I love the ladies she works with at the club. Their personalities are so fun. Also, I love a groveling Alpha. Though Mr. Brownies was a fun twist. I love that the story was comprehensive and filled in all of the missing pieces in a way that was engaging and made sense.
That epilogue was so freaking sweet and an absolutely perfect ending.

Exceptional

I was thoroughly intrigued with this book. It took me a couple of days to finish it, but I was running home from work to get back into the Haze pack. I loved this book and I can't wait for the next book from this author.

ending was very rushed
Format: Kindle
Fun premise and start but the initial story buildup took 90% of book so the characters coming together and overcoming villain of story was literally less than 25 pages. Ending felt rushed and way less thought out than the premise. The whole mom part of the story was unnecessary and hard to follow.
