The Ancestor's Tale: A Pilgrimage to the Dawn of Evolution

$7.99

Author Richard Dawkins

Format Hardcover

Publisher Houghton Mifflin Harcourt

Category Evolution

"The renowned biologist and thinker Richard Dawkins presents his most expansive work yet: a comprehensive look at evolution, ranging from the latest developments in the field to his own views. Loosely based on the form of Chaucer's Canterbury Tales, Dawkins's Tale takes us modern humans back through four billion years of life on our planet. As the pilgrimage progresses, we join with other organisms at the forty "rendezvous points" where we find a common ancestor. The band of pilgrims swells into a vast crowd as we join first with other primates, then with other mammals, and so on back to the first primordial organism." "The Ancestor's Tale is at once a far-reaching survey of the latest, best thinking on biology and a history of life on Earth. Here Dawkins shows us how remarkable we are, how astonishing our history, and how intimate our relationship with the rest of the living world."--BOOK JACKET.
