The genetic book of the dead : a Darwinian reverie / Richard Dawkins ; illustrated by Jana Lenzová

This work explores how the physical traits, behaviour, and genetic makeup of organisms serve as a biological archive of their ancestors' environments. It examines how natural selection encodes an evolutionary history within cells, reflecting the worlds of past lineages.

Its skin can be read as a description of ancient deserts in which its ancestors survived - and, before that, of the worlds of its more remote ancestors: a genetic book of the dead. -- publisher"
