However, the author convinced me that the traditional Darwinian camp, represented by Dawkins, is reductive and inadequate, and that the gene isn't the fundamental agent of evolution. The theological ideas towards the end of the book are unconvincing though.

This has got to be one of the most interesting reads for a few years. Cambridge professor and evolutionay paleontologist Conway Morris essentially develops the almost Platonic conception of convergent evolution, suggesting that there are perfect solutions out there, and that nature has found them again and again.

As another reviewer wrote Conway Morris produces lots of examples like Darwin. However unlike Darwin the examples aren't convincing, we fail to go from the 'could have' to 'must have'.
