The article discusses the use of two textbooks, *Human Heredity and Evolution* (HH) and *Human Nature* (HG), in undergraduate courses at San Jose State University. The author, Richard L. Ingraham, notes that while there have been no complaints from students about the textbooks, their effectiveness in teaching human genetics and evolution is not solely attributed to the texts. He emphasizes that the choice of textbooks should be based on course objectives and the characteristics of the student population. The second part of the article reviews *Fundamentals of Molecular Evolution* by Wen-Hsiung Li and Dan Graur. The book is praised for its clear and concise introduction to molecular evolutionary topics, covering nucleic acid structure, genetic codes, population genetics, nucleotide substitution rates, molecular phylogeny, and genome organization. The authors' approach is described as interdisciplinary, integrating knowledge from biochemistry, molecular biology, population genetics, and evolutionary theory. The review suggests that future editions could include more advanced topics and address the relationship between speciation and molecular change. The final section reviews *Genome* by Jerry E. Bishop and Michael Waldholz, a book aimed at the general public. The review highlights the book's positive impact on inspiring young people to enter science and its potential as a gift. However, it criticizes the book for its one-sided presentation of the Human Genome Project, lack of discussion on ethical dilemmas, and factual errors. The reviewer recommends *Proceed with Caution* by Holtzman as a more serious and balanced resource for understanding modern genetics.The article discusses the use of two textbooks, *Human Heredity and Evolution* (HH) and *Human Nature* (HG), in undergraduate courses at San Jose State University.
