Synopsis
Now, Charles Darwin's seminal book is reissued with an introduction by Richard Dawkins, Darwin's successor at Oxford University. Author of such science books as "The Selfish Gene", "Unweaving the Rainbow", "The Blind Watchmaker", "Climbing Mount Improbable" and "River Out of Eden" Dawkins' work has been profoundly influenced by the father of evolution, Charles Darwin. His introduction reveals a number of startling discoveries that mean books about Darwin will have to be rewritten.
From the Author
'I find an addictive fascination in his Victorian prose style, quite apart from the feeling one gets of having been ushered into the presence of one of the great minds of all time.' Richard Dawkins

First Sentence
HE who wishes to decide whether man is the modified descendant of some pre-existing form, would probably first enquire whether man varies, however slightly, in bodily structure and in mental faculties; and if so, whether the variations are transmitted to his offspring in accordance with the laws which prevail with the lower animals; such as that of the transmission of characters to the same age or sex.
