Dear Mr Darwin is a evolution, natural selection book by G. A. Dover.
About this book
"Stimulated by Darwin's relatively uninformed but obviously intelligent questions, Dover takes the father of evolution on an exhilarating roller-coaster ride through recent genetic discoveries. In recounting stories from the treasure trove of modern biology, Dover exposes the naively deterministic view of selfish genes and their supposed lonely pursuits of self-replication and self-immortalization. He reveals a world of evolution far more intricate and subtle than can be expected from the notion of natural selection acting alone - a world in which genes are born to cooperate, as a consequences of newly discovered genetic processes."--BOOK JACKET.
