The Genetic Book Of The Dead : A Darwinian Reverie (Paperback) By Richard Dawkins

The Genetic Book Of The Dead: A Darwinian Reverie by Richard Dawkins explores the fundamental principles of evolution and the ways in which living organisms preserve clues about the worlds inhabited by their ancestors.

Dawkins presents the body, behaviour, and genes of every living creature as a kind of biological archive. From the camouflage of desert lizards to the intricate workings of cells, he examines how natural selection has shaped organisms over countless generations and how these features can reveal aspects of their evolutionary history.

Drawing on fascinating examples from biology and evolutionary science, the book explores the power of Darwinian natural selection while examining apparent imperfections in nature and addressing criticisms of the gene-centred view of evolution. It concludes with a thought-provoking exploration of the possibility that our genes can be viewed as a vast colony of cooperating viruses.
