Good read. "Life on the Edge" by Jim Al-Khalili and Johnjoe McFadden covers the fascinating world of quantum biology. Could life be a delicate balance that organic molecules can provide to enable quantum coherence? The efficient quantum mechanisms of photosynthesis, magnetoreception, and enzymes are covered along with speculation on brain activity and genetics.

Could quantum effects explain some of the algorithmic advantage that evolution seems to possess?

All the concepts are easily explained and made clear ... and there's no maths.
