The Ancestor’s Tale by Dawkins, Richard; Wong, Yan Edition ILL, 1 $30.49 The renowned biologist and thinker Richard Dawkins presents his most expansive work yet: a comprehensive look at evolution, ranging from the latest developments in the field to his own provocative views. Loosely based on the form of Chaucer's Canterbury 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 Tale is 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. |

Ancestor by Yoan, Niek [Paperback] $113.11 Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. An ancestor is a parent or (recursively) the parent of an ancestor (i.e., a grandparent, greatgrandparent, greatgreatgrandparent, and so forth). Two individuals have a genetic relationship if one is the ancestor of the other, or if they share a common ancestor. In evolutionary theory, species which share an evolutionary ancestor are said to be of common descent. However, this concept of ancestry does not apply to some bacteria and other organisms capable of horizontal gene transfer. Author: Yoan, Niek Binding Type: Paperback Number of Pages: 160 Publication Date: 2011/07/24 Language: English Dimensions: 9.02 x 5.98 x 0.37 inches |
