A fascinating explanation of how evolution works, from bestselling author of THE GOD DELUSION, Richard Dawkins.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe river of Dawkins's title is a river of DNA, flowing through time from the beginning of life on earth to the present - and onwards. Dawkins explains that DNA must be thought of as the most sophisticated information system imaginable: 'Life is just bytes and bytes of information,' he writes. Using this perspective, he describes the mechanisms by which evolution has taken place, gradually but inexorably, over a period of three thousand million years. It is the story of how evolution happens, rather than a narrative of what has actually happened in evolution. He discusses current views on the process of human evolution, including the idea that we all trace back to a comparatively recent African 'Eve', and speculates that the 'information explosion' that was unleashed on Earth when DNA came into being has almost certainly happened in other places in the universe.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oxfordbookstore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44791099982003,"sku":"9781780226897","price":319.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0718\/4164\/4723\/files\/blk_imp_17478107329781780226897.jpg?v=1762851311","url":"https:\/\/oxfordbookstore.com\/products\/river-out-of-eden-1994","provider":"Oxfordbookstore ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
