Science journalist and author Roger Lewin shows readers how the tools of biology are transforming the way in which evolution is viewed. The advent of genetic analysis, sometimes of DNA extracted from the remains of creatures that lived thousands of years ago, has enabled scientists to remap the history of life, and has led to findings about evolutionary lineages and aspects of modern animal behaviour.
"Roger Lewin is one of the world's finest science writers - a man who deeply understands the issues and writes with both elegance and clarity." Stephen Jay Gould
