Krátký popis
The renowned biologist and thinker Richard Dawkins presents his
most expansive work in this revised edition that offers a
comprehensive look at evolution.Loosely based on the form of
Chaucer'sCanterbury 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.Dawkins's brilliant, inventive approach allows
us to view the connections between ourselves and all other life in
a bracingly novel way.It also lets him shed bright new light on the
most compelling aspects of evolutionary history and theory: sexual
selection, speciation, convergent evolution, extinction, genetics,
plate tectonics, geographical dispersal, and more.The Ancestor's
Taleis at once a far-reaching survey of the latest, best
thinking on biology and a fascinating 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.
