on evolutionary biology by the best writer in the field. An informative overview over the
results of evolution, with the many-branched family tree that it produced, is given on
the phylogeny.arizona.edu/tree website. About the results of evolution for human beings,
see the informative text by K. Kusch & S. Kusch, Der Mensch in Zahlen, Spektrum
Akademischer Verlag, 2nd edn., 2000. The epochal work by Charles Darwin, On the
Origin of Species, can be found on the web, e.g. on on the darwin-online.org.uk websites.
