Dawkins explains that DNA must be thought of as the most sophisticated information system imaginable: ''Life is just bytes and bytes of information,'' he writes. Using this perspective, he describes the mechanisms by which evolution has taken place, gradually but inexorably, over a period of three thousand million years. It is the story of how evolution happens, rather than a narrative of what has actually happened in evolution. He discusses current views on the process of human evolution, including the idea that we all trace back to a comparatively recent African ''Eve'', and speculates that the ''information explosion'' that was unleashed on Earth when DNA came into being has almost certainly happened in other places in the universe.","brand":"Orion Publishing Co","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57586338562383,"sku":"9781780226897","price":18.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0061\/0372\/8217\/files\/9781780226897_1-river-out-of-eden.jpg?v=1777455612","url":"https:\/\/www.suomalainen.com\/products\/river-out-of-eden","provider":"Suomalainen.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
