THE ANCESTOR'S TALE is a pilgrimage back through time; a journey on which we meet up with fellow pilgrims as we and they converge on our common ancestors. The journey provides the setting for a collection of some 40 tales. Each explores an aspect of evolutionary biology through the stories of characters met along the way. Our goal is four billion years away: at the end of the journey lies something remarkable in its simplicity and transformative power: the first, humble, replicating molecules. «
