REVIEW:
Replicators: Evolutionary Powerhouses explores evolution from a biological, cultural, linguistic and philosophical standpoint. It draws heavily on the works of evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins and explores a complicated subject in an understandable way. For instance, the section Biological Evolution discusses such topics as genetics, immune systems, and genetic engineering. The section History of Evolution covers Pre-Darwinian Theory, Social Darwinism, and biographies of various theorists. Included is a Frequently Asked Questions area, Interactivities, and a Replicators Forum.
