Oxford scientist Richard Dawkins is among Darwin's chief defenders, and an able one indeed-- witty, literate, capable of turning a beautiful phrase. In <i>River Out of Eden</i> he introduces general readers to some fairly abstract problems in evolutionary biology, gently guiding us through the tangles of mitochondrial DNA and the survival-of-the- fittest ethos. (Superheroes need not apply: Dawkins writes, "The genes that survive . . . will be the ones that are good at surviving in the average environment of the species.") Dawkins argues for the essential unity of humanity, noting that "we are much closer cousins of one another than we normally realize, and we have many fewer ancestors than simple calculations suggest." 1121858 book 1966 River Out of Eden: A Darwinian View of Life (Science Masters Series) total:385|5:88|4:158|3:112|2:22|1:5| 385 1457 634 29 32275 0465069908 9780465069903 340 27 3.78 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1252808540m/32275.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/32275.River_Out_of_Eden_A_Darwinian_View_of_Life 5 3 false Wed Aug 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Wed Aug 15 16:18:35 -0700 2007 Wed Aug 15 16:22:42 -0700 2007 more...]]> 6436167 9789735017019 2 1 3.78 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1241091665m/6436167.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6436167-un-r-u-pornit-din-eden 2 1 false Sun Apr 12 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Thu Mar 12 00:55:24 -0700 2009 Sun May 10 04:03:45 -0700 2009 more...]]> 32275 0465069908 9780465069903 340 27 3.78 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1252808540m/32275.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/32275.River_Out_of_Eden_A_Darwinian_View_of_Life 4 0 false Wed Aug 19 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Fri Jun 19 09:53:00 -0700 2009 Wed Aug 19 06:46:13 -0700 2009 more...]]> 32275 0465069908 9780465069903 340 27 3.78 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1252808540m/32275.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/32275.River_Out_of_Eden_A_Darwinian_View_of_Life 0 0 false Wed Feb 25 11:58:45 -0800 2009 Wed Feb 25 11:59:13 -0800 2009 Origins.
