Description: Folio Society – THE BLIND WATCHMAKER by Richard Dawkins Where do we come from? In the 19th century, Charles Darwin proposed a ‘beautiful and elegant solution’, to this ‘greatest of all mysteries’, but left many elements unexplained. In this entertaining, award-winning book – which John Gribbon believes ‘might just be the most important evolution book since Darwin’ – Richard Dawkins applies the great scientific discoveries of modern times, from DNA to the power of computing and the electron microscope, to lead the reader towards a heightened understanding of evolution and its implications. From ants to elephants, and from fossils to nerve cells, he shows how slight modifications over billions of years have together produced the complexity of life on earth today. As humans, we are so accustomed to designing complex objects ourselves, that we assume nature is also designed – but, Dawkins argues the only ‘design’ springs from nature itself.
