Blind Watchmaker, The - Why the Evidence of Evolution Reveals a Universe without Design

Blind Watchmaker, The - Why the Evidence of Evolution Reveals a Universe without Design
Twenty years after its original publication, The Blind Watchmaker, framed with a new introduction by the author, is as prescient and timely a book as ever. The watchmaker belongs to the eighteenth-century theologian William Paley, who argued that just as a watch is too complicated and functional to have sprung into existence by accident, so too must all living things, with their far greater complexity, be purposefully designed. Charles Darwin's brilliant discovery challenged the creationist arguments; but only Richard Dawkins could have written this eloquent riposte. Natural selection - the unconscious, automatic, blind, yet essentially nonrandom process Darwin discovered - is the blind watchmaker in nature.

Acclaimed as perhaps the most influential work on evolution written in the 20th century, The Blind Watchmaker offers an engaging and accessible introduction to one of the most important scientific discoveries of all time.

Richard Dawkins is the Charles Simonyi Professor for the Understanding of Science at Oxford University.
