    Sorry if I have recommended this already, it is easily the book I recommend the most (non-fiction book anyways), but Parasite Rex by Carl Zimmer is a great read, and it has a lot to do with evolution (not only of parasites themselves, but also of our view of them since ancient times). 100% recommended.

    Your Inner Fish by Neil Shubin is an excellent book about the evolutionary history of the human body.
    Life Ascending by Nick Lane is also great. It deals with the evolutionary history more generally.
    Dawkin's Selfish Gene is a classic and still relevant nearly 40 years on.
