«Almost Like a Whale» is Steve Jones's popular science essay, published by Black Swan in paperback (519 pages, in English).
Steve Jones starts from Darwin's On the Origin of Species and shows how evolution makes sense of biology. He links cancer to fish genetics, beer to hereditary diseases and crocodiles to Brazilian politics; with twentieth-century advances, from AIDS to dinosaurs, he updates the Darwinian case.
Subtitle: The Origin of Species Updated. The original publication dates from 1999; the Black Swan edition appeared in September 2000.
Recommended for readers of popular science, evolutionary biology and works by Darwin.
