In this fascinating book, Richard Dawkins presents an exhaustive investigation into the theory of evolution, from the time of Charles Darwin to the present day. It explores how advances in biology, genomics, and new technologies have confirmed Darwin's ideas, from ecosystems to the level of DNA. Dawkins addresses fundamental questions about the origin of life, the variability of species, and the presence of humans on the planet, highlighting the central role of non-random natural selection.
Richard Dawkins is a British evolutionary biologist, zoologist, science communicator and author. He is an emeritus fellow of New College, Oxford. In 1995, he was named the first Simonyi Professor for the Public Understanding of Science, a position he held until 2008, and is on the advisory board of the University of Austin. Dawkins has won several academic and writing awards, among them the 2005 Shakespeare Prize and the 2006 Lewis Thomas Prize. Presenting the latter, Paul Nurse said "In eloquent, evocative prose, Richard Dawkins conveys the certainty that, rather than diminishing the myriad beauties of the universe and extinguishing wonderment at its mysteries, science reveals truths that are yet more awe-inspiring than the mysteries they solve."
