Descent of Man

by Charles Darwin

Published 1 December 1997
Now, Charles Darwin's seminal book is reissued with an introduction by Richard Dawkins, Darwin's successor at Oxford University. Author of such science books as "The Selfish Gene", "Unweaving the Rainbow", "The Blind Watchmaker", "Climbing Mount Improbable" and "River Out of Eden" Dawkins' work has been profoundly influenced by the father of evolution, Charles Darwin. His introduction reveals a number of startling discoveries that mean books about Darwin will have to be rewritten.
