The Blind Watchmaker
#1131 of 3,809 books · #94 in Science & Technology
Won the Los Angeles Times Book Prize for Current Interest (1987).
The Blind Watchmaker offers an inspiring and accessible introduction to one of the most important scientific discoveries of all time. A brilliant and controversial book which demonstrates that evolution by natural selection - the unconscious, automatic, blind yet essentially non-random process discovered by Darwin - is the only answer to the biggest question of all: why do we exist?
