It really gives a good theory of life before, during and after(!) humanity.
Like CSflim says, the author challenges the human-centric view that abounds in our civilization...
It really is a good book and I'd recommend it to anyone!

I couldn't agree more with you here though. That book was excellent. I'd also recommend
The Blind Watchmaker, again by Dawkins. He is just such a brilliant and knowledgable writer, plus he can put things into terms laymen can really understand. I think he has come further than almost anyone in demystifying modern science, which is something I really get behind.
