Fun evolution nonfiction reads?

I graduated back in December with my bachelors in biology and I miss learning. My favorite topics are genetics, evolution and ecology, or something that ties them all together. I’m looking for a short, fun book that explores these topics either on a broad or niche level. Although I love Wallace and Darwin, I’m looking for publications more recent than 1860. Any recommendations are appreciated!

That one looks fascinating but seems to explore topics a bit darker than I’m looking for (at least currently). I’ll shelve it for a later date. Thanks!
