I think this over-arching comment by Peebo is interesting. At its simplest level, evolution is change in allele frequencies over time. And the mechanisms of evolution we all know (mutation, selection, drift, etc.), are the reasons why allele frequencies change over time. But from here the theory grows broader: people become interested in adaptation, social behavior, speciation etc. With the broadest overarching umbrella perhaps being that of the historical narrative of life on earth, fossil records, origins, reconstructing the story of evolution.
I've added your book recommendation to my collection. (Libgen is like Barnes and Nobles for me lol.)
