- Natural selection, Evolution (Biology), Evolution, Biodiversity
In De blinde horlogemaker spelen zowel Paley als Darwin een belangrijke rol. De eerstgenoemde als belichaming van het geloof in een voor ede mens onbekende doelgerichtheid van de natuur. Darwin als ontdekker van het principe van de natuurlijke selectie. Uiterst boeiend schrijft Dawkins over zijn pogingen Darwins evolutieleer met behulp van computers na te bootsen. Het kunstmatige landschap van de computer verschaft meer inzicht in de ontwikkeling van de genen, de belangrijkste bouwstenen van het leven.

“We animals are the most complicated things in the known universe.”
Clinton Richard Dawkins, FRS, FRSL is a British ethologist, evolutionary biologist and popular science author. He was formerly Professor for Public Understanding of Science at Oxford and was a fellow of New College, Oxford. Dawkins came to prominence with his 1976 book *The Selfish Gene*, which popularised the gene-centred view of evolution and introduced the term meme. In 1982, he made a widely cited contribution to evolutionary biology with the concept, presented in his book *The Extended Phenotype*, that the phenotypic effects of a gene are not necessarily limited to an organism's body, but can stretch far into the environment, including the bodies of other organisms.
