The Blind Watchmaker

Complexity in living things can look designed, and Richard Dawkins wrote The Blind Watchmaker to set out in detail why cumulative natural selection accounts for it without a designer. The argument advances through worked analogies, including computer models of gradual change, discussions of eyes and echolocation, and responses to the objections most often raised against evolutionary explanation. Dawkins writes for readers with no biology background, defining terms as he goes, and the book is widely used as an entry point to evolutionary theory alongside course textbooks. What readers find: • A step-by-step case for evolution by cumulative natural selection • Analogies and simple models in place of technical notation • Direct engagement with common objections to evolutionary theory • An accessible companion to formal biology coursework Suited to science readers, biology students and teachers looking for clear explanation, available at Boipoka.
