The Ancestor´s Tale

The renowned biologist and thinker Richard Dawkins presents his most expansive work yet: a comprehensive look at evolution, ranging from the latest developments in the feld to his own provocatice views. Loosely based on the form of Chaucer´s Canterbury Tales, Dawkin´s Tale takes us modern humans back thrugh four billion years of life on our planet. As the pilgrimage progresses, we join with other organisms at the forty "rendezvour¡s points" where we find a common ancestor. The band of pilgrims swells into a vast crowd as we join first with other primates, then with other animals, and so on back to the first primordial organism.
