Genetic Book of the Dead
Book • 2024
In this revolutionary, richly illustrated book, Richard Dawkins demonstrates how the body, behavior, and genes of every living creature can be read as a book—an archive of the worlds of its ancestors.
Dawkins explains that in the future, a zoologist will be able to decode the ancestral history of any unknown animal, reading its unique 'book of the dead'.
This approach is already revealing the remarkable ways animals overcome obstacles, adapt to their environments, and develop similar solutions to life’s problems.
