Synopsis "The Genetic Book of the Dead: A Darwinian Reverie"

In this groundbreaking new approach to the evolution of all life, Richard Dawkins shows how the body, behaviour, and genes of every living creature can be read as a book – an archive of the worlds of its ancestors. A perfectly camouflaged desert lizard has a desiccated landscape of sand and stones 'painted' on its back. Its skin can be read as a description of ancient deserts in which its ancestors survived – and, before that, of the worlds of its more remote ancestors: a genetic book of the dead.

Richard Dawkins’s lovely new book is an old-fashioned miscellany of such zoological surprises... Dawkins’s true aim, the literary evocation of wonder at the vast and improbable grandeur of nature, is consistently achieved - The Telegraph

A book that will inform, intrigue and fascinate its readers - The TLS

A joyful celebration... [Dawkins'] ability to tell the glorious tale of evolution in action remains unrivalled. - Financial Times

[An] illuminating deep dive into genes, bodies and Darwinian natural selection. Highly readable and brilliantly illustrated - i news

Overflowing with the beauty of nature, the beauty of language, and the beauty of ideas. - Steven Pinker, author of Rationality and Enlightenment Now

Dazzling in originality and scope, with beautiful illustrations, this is a wonderful celebration of the power of natural selection. Richard Dawkins reveals with brilliant clarity the imprint on organisms of their evolutionary past. - Nick Davies, author of Cuckoo: Cheating By Nature

The ingenuity of evolution is infinite, a fact that fascinates Richard Dawkins as much as it fascinated Charles Darwin. Inside each organism he finds rich palimpsests chronicling the history of life itself. - Matt Ridley, author of The Evolution of Everything and How Innovation Works

Once again, Richard Dawkins asks us to look at the living world in a totally novel way: Every organism carries, in its genes, a record of the past environments in which its ancestors survived. This brilliant new way of interpreting nature opens our eyes to both the past and the future. - John Krebs, author of Food: A Very Short Introduction and co-author, An Introduction to Behavioral Ecology

Excelente libro, como todos los de Dawkins: argumentación sólida, ejemplificación audaz, y las ilustraciones son exactas de los modelos reales, muy agradables.
