In Anarchy Evolution, Graffin, a punk rock star and a biologist, “presents his own naturalistic worldview in semi-autobiographical form” along with explanations of evolution, reviewer Richard P. Meisel explains. “Each component is compelling in its own right but the connections among these elements often come off as contrived.” While the treatment of evolution was for the most part solid, Meisel thinks that Anarchy Evolution will primarily appeal to fans of punk rock.
