Consider The Blind Watchmaker by Richard Dawkins. Recommended by 12 sources.

“Reading feels brisk and combative: clear metaphors and thought experiments carry much of the book, making abstract evolutionary mechanics concrete for a general reader. The most useful material offers step-by-step dismantling of purposive explanations and replaces them with probabilistic accounts of variation and selection. Main limitation is tone and repetition—several chapters restate the same counterarguments at length—and occasional technical detours into probability and genetics that slow readers who prefer story over demonstration. No hands-on exercises.”
