Themes include Science \u0026amp; Math, Biological Sciences, Biology, Evolution, Genetics.\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\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAll books at Vastela are pre-owned.
