THE ANCESTOR'S TALE is a pilgrimage back through time; a journey on which we meet up with fellow pilgrims as we and they converge on our common ancestors. Chimpanzees join us at about 6 million years in the past, orang utans at 14 million years, as we stride on together, a growing band. The journey provides the setting for a collection of some 40 tales. Each explores an aspect of evolutionary biology through the stories of characters met along the way. The tales are interspersed with prologues detailing the journey, route maps showing joining lineages, and life-like reconstructions of our common ancestors. THE ANCESTOR'S TALE represents a pilgrimage on an unimaginable scale: our goal is four billion years away, and the number of pilgrims joining us grows vast - ultimately encompassing all living creatures. At the end of the journey lies something remarkable in its simplicity and transfor

In this brilliant tour de force Richard Dawkins pulls together the incontrovertible evidence that underpins it: from living examples of natural selection to clues in the fossil record; from plate tectonics to molecular genetics.

"Livets udvikling" beskriver, hvordan livet på Jorden er opstået og har forandret sig gennem geologiske tidsaldre. Læseren føres fra den tidlige Jord med simple organismer over udviklingen af flercellede dyr, planter og komplekse økosystemer til store forhistoriske dyr og moderne pattedyr og mennesker. Bogen kombinerer tekst med detaljerede illustrationer og fotos, som viser fossiler, cellestrukturer og rekonstruktioner af tidligere tiders landskaber og arter. Den giver et samlet overblik over evolutionsteori, naturlig selektion og de vigtigste fund inden for palæontologi og biologi, og den sætter udviklingen ind i en større naturvidenskabelig sammenhæng.
