The Genetic Book of the Dead by Richard Dawkins review – the great biologist’s swansong

Summary

Nutrition label

71% Informative

Richard Dawkins ' new book, one of nearly a dozen he has written about evolution, looks set to be his last.

He showcases the effects of nature’s genetic choices in mimicry, camouflage, predation, mating all areas that have been very well covered elsewhere (not least by Dawkins himself). He does do it well, albeit with the tone of a Victorian gentleman naturalist.

Ultimately, the fate of all organisms, according to the fixed laws of evolution, is extinction. But future scientists will surely study the words of Richard Dawkins long after he has succumbed to the forces he has done so much to celebrate..
