The path of mankind has been (and will be) long. We have changed, and the world around us has changed. Fossils and ancient landscapes, still untouched by modern civilisation, remain as a reminder of the times four billion years ago. Evolution continues to move. And Richard Dawkins, with his book, offers the reader an amazing way to track the course of this large-scale, centuries-old evolution in reverse.

From modern humans to microbial embryos, through the fossilised remains of ancient animals, listening to the story of a distant ape ancestor or the bizarre ascidian, fruit fly or eubacterium. This book is a journey that sheds light on topics such as species evolution, natural selection, extinction of entire populations, and more.

So, we invite you to a pilgrimage to the origins of life! It will be great!
