Dawkins (Oxford U.) explains evolution as a flowing river of genes meeting, uniting, and sometimes separating to form new species. He argues that gradualism is the motive force in biological change, not creationism, and discusses sex ratios, evolution and selection of complex structures, and our earliest human ancestors. Includes b&w drawings. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
