About This Item
London: Bantam Press, 2009 9780593061732. First edition. First Printing. Fine/Fine. Pristine condition in the original black cloth-covered boards/silver spine title, and with the fine and unclipped, colour-illustrated dust-wrapper. Complete numberline. 8vo-over 7¾"-9¾" tall. Hard cover. No inscriptions or annotations,. 470 pp.including index with text figures and illustrations throughout, plus 32pp plates with a total of around 100 colour photographs. Evolution is accepted as fact by all reputable scientists and indeed by theologians, yet millions of people still question its veracity. Here the author of The Selfish Gene, The Blind Watchmaker, and The God Delusion takes on creationists, including followers of "intelligent design" and any who question the evidence of evolution through natural selection. Richard Dawkins sifts through layers of proven scientific facts - from the fossil record, the living examples of natural selection in birds and insects, the "time clocks" of trees and radioactive dating, and the archaeological traces of our earliest ancestors to confirmation from molecular biology and genetics - to build an ironclad case. .
