Taking you through four billion years of life on our planet, The Ancestor’s Tale allows you to view the connections between yourself and all other life in a bracingly novel way, shedding bright new light on the most compelling aspects of evolutionary history and sexual selection, speciation, convergent evolution, extinction, genetics, and more. The Ancestor's Tale is a far-reaching survey of the latest, best thinking on biology and a fascinating history of life on Earth. Dawkins shows you how remarkable we are, how astonishing our history is, and how intimate is our relationship with the rest of the living world.
