River Out of Eden A Darwinian View of Life - Science Masters
Author: Richard Dawkins, Lalla Ward (Illustrator)
In Dawkins' view, human beings are vehicles of evolution -- gene carriers whose primary purpose is propagation of their own genes. In this new book, he explains evolution as a flowing river of genes, demonstrating how genes meet, compete, unite, and sometimes separate to form new species.

He covers a lot of the ground that he covers in later, longer books. His explanation of mitochondrial Eve is the best that I have found, even though it may be dated (15 years old)

"How did the replication bomb we call 'life' begin and where in the world, or rather, in the universe, is it heading? Writing with characteristic wit and an ability to clarify complex phenomena, Dawkins confronts this ancient mystery."
