From a renowned biologist and best-selling author, a whole new way of looking at living organisms: reading them as documents describing ancient worlds A Financial Times Best Book of 2024: Science8226Named Science Book of the Year by Times (UK)8226A Guardian Best Ideas Book of 2024 Intellectually sparkling and beautifully crafted.82218212Adrian Woolfson, Wall Street Journal A glorious affair. . . . Arguably [Dawkins8217s] most joyous ode to the wonders that evolution has wrought in the animal world.82218212Philip Ball, Science An exquisitely camouflaged lizard has a desiccated landscape of sand and stones painted8221 on its back. Its skin can be read as a description of an ancient desert, a world in which its ancestors survived. Such descriptions are more than skin deep, however. They penetrate the very warp and woof of the entire animal. In this groundbreaking exploration of the power of Darwinian evolution and what it can reveal about the past, Richard Dawkins shows how the body, behavior, and genes of every living creature can be read as a book8212an archive of the worlds of its ancestors. In the future, a zoologist presented with a hitherto unknown animal will be able to decode its ancestral history, to read its unique book of the dead.8221 Such readings are already uncovering the remarkable ways animals overcome obstacles, adapt to their environments, and, again and again, develop remarkably similar ways of solving life8217s problems. From the author of The Selfish Gene comes a revolutionary, richly illustrated book that unlocks the door to a past more vivid, nuanced, and fascinating than anything we have seen.
