Hello everyone,
So I'm a CS major college student. I've always been interested in biology, especially evolution and genetics; but recently I've been really interested in neurobiology. I read a lot from all kind of stuff and I thought I could read some books on these subjects. What I'm looking for isn't a popular science book with random information, yet not a detailed textbook. I'm looking for something in the middle. I have experience in reading physics/math books like this but never been around any biology books.
What would you recommend to read for genetics, evolution, and neurobiology?

Thanks.

TL;DR Summary: Book after Sakurai Modern Quantum Physics I am doing a comprehensive reading of sakurai and I have solved every problem from chapters I finished on my own, I will finish the book within 2 weeks and I want to delve into qft and other particle physics related topics, not from summaries but comprehensive books, I will start a graduate program related to cern in 3 months, I alreadily knew some qft but now I want to do it, hence do a good book with good problems in it first...
