Join Britain's greatest science writer as he comprehensively rebuts the creationists by pulling together the incontrovertible evidence for evolution.
Richard Dawkins is the renowned academic responsible for such works as The Selfish Gene through to the phenomenal The God Delusion. His latest offering, The Greatest Show on Earth, takes on creationists and all those who question the fact of evolution through natural selection. Dawkins builds a fascinating case to bear witness to the truth of evolution: from the living examples of natural selection in birds and insects; the 'time clocks' of trees and radioactive dating that calibrate a timescale for evolution; the fossil record and the traces of our earliest ancestors; to confirmation from molecular biology and genetics.
While providing unequivocal evidence that boldly and comprehensively rebuts those who question evolution, Dawkins shares with us his palpable love of the natural world and the essential role that science plays in its interpretation.
