The Ancestor's Tale

The book's framing as a pilgrimage is unique and engaging. I wonder if this approach was planned from the beginning or evolved during writing to make complex evolution concepts more accessible.

The book covers so much ground, from tiny microbes to humans. Did the depth enhance the story or make it harder to follow for some readers?

Seeing our ancestors mapped out across time really puts our place in evolution into perspective. Did this perspective deepen anyone's appreciation for biology?
