Description
This audiobook was published with the support of the “Enlightener” (“Prosvetitel”) prize.
What are living bodies made of, and what does carbon have to do with it? What is a genetic code, who are viruses, how the evolutionary tree is arranged, and why did the Cambrian explosion happen? The book offers up-to-date answers to these and many other questions. The “focus” of the narrative is the evolution of life on Earth: the author believes that only from this angle do very different biological problems acquire a single meaning.
The book consists of four parts, whose topics expand one after another: “Chemistry of Life,” “Mechanism of Life,” “Tree of Life,” and “History of Life.”
Recommended for a wide range of readers who are seriously interested in modern biology.
The book is released in the Primus series with the support of the “Evolution” foundation and the Dmitry Zimin “Book Projects” program.
