Charles Darwin's masterpiece, "On the Origin of Species", shook society to its core on publication in 1859. Darwin was only too aware of the storm his theory of evolution would provoke but he would surely have raised an incredulous eyebrow at the controversy still raging a century and a half later.

En till bra bok av Dawkins, denna om de bevis som finns fr den naturliga evolutionen. Boken r ett svar till alla de som tror att gud skapade djuren.

Det enda negativa jag har att sga om boken r att den ibland upprepar sig, Dawkins borde kortat boken lite genom att inte ha med s mnga olika bevis. Men till alla som inte tror p evolutionen, ge den hr boken en chans!
