Noted science journalist and author Roger Lewin shows readers how the tools of molecular biology are transforming the way in which evolution is viewed. The advent of genetic analysis, sometimes of DNA extracted from the remains of creatures that lives thousands of years ago, has enabled scientists to remap the history of life, and has led to important new findings about evolutionary lineages and aspects of modern animal behaviour.
