Hardback. 'Why life?' - questions of this type were for a long time the prerogative of philosophers who left the 'how' question to scientists. Considered to be the target of selection and the focus of evolution, the individual has been usurped by the gene. The individual is nothing but the gene's avatar. This book deals with Evolutionary genetics. Num Pages: 287 pages, biography. BIC Classification: PSAJ.
