River Out of Eden is a short book describing, essentially, the motivation of DNA to survive, and what that means about life and humanity. It's also got a few probably oft-repeated rational arguments used to deflect the non-argument "But it can't be!" complaints that have been leveled at evolution over the years.

It's a quick, reasonably light read (unless you argue with the premise, probably). I enjoyed it.

4/5 stars.
