Anarchy Evolution

Frompunk rock bandBad Religion’s Greg Graffin and Steve Olson, Anarchy Evolution is a provocative look at the collision between religion and science.

“Take one man who rejects authority and religion, and leads a punk band. Take another man who wonders whether vertebrates arose in rivers or in the ocean. . . . Put them together, what do you get? Greg Graffin, and this uniquely fascinating book.” —Pulitzer Prize-winning and New York Times–bestselling author Jared Diamond

From an author with unique authority: UCLA lecturer in Paleontology, and founding member of Bad Religion, Greg Graffin and award-winning science writer Steve Olson, Anarchy Evolution delivers a powerful discussion sure to strike a chord with readers of Richard Dawkins’ The God Delusion or Christopher Hitchens’ God Is Not Great.

“Anarchy Evolution sets out to draw connections between evolution, naturalist thought, and punk, an undertaking that may sound rife with the potential to be reachy—or preachy. But Graffin and Olson manage to weave the seemingly disparate concepts together into a satisfying narrative.” —LA Weekly

“Graffin is one of those rare people who seem to have combined two lives into one. He’s one of a small but growing number of atheists in the United States willing to talk about the damage they believe religion can do.” —Paste
