In this (http://richarddawkins.net/article,3638,Richard-Dawkins-on-Minnesota-Public-Radio,Richard-Dawkins) recent interview, Dawkins talks about his next book, due out later this year.

I look forward to it, but weren't his last six or seven books dealing with exactly this, the evidence for evolution?

Well, he is an evolutionary biologist, so I suppose it's not that surprising.

I love how Dawkins writes about evolution. He talks about our ancestors, and the tricks they and modern day creatures came up with, with something approaching reverence.

When I finished the Ancestor's Tale, I was left feeling upbeat for days.

I'm thinking that this'll be more like Jones's Almost Like A Whale than anything that Dawkins has written so far.
