It's SO nice to know I have this whole book yet to read! It arrived in the post today and I immediately dived in. I know it's going to be amazing - Dawkins never disappoints!

Finally up to rendezvous 5 - Old World Monkeys. Rendezvous 4 had some very interesting postulations as to why we lost out tales; I'm siding with the mutant gene theory, the 'Manx Monkey' ancestor. It's getting deeper and deeper but I'm loving it!

Maybe its the heat addling my brain, but I'm finding it difficult to get a handle on the reverse trees, coalescence points, and how to find the various MRCAs (most recent common ancestors). It's just not making sense to me yet, but not for want of Dawkins's clear direction. Hoping it will all become clear to me sooner rather than later because its a BIG book!
