That life is complex rather than simple is one of evolution's biggest paradoxes. Complex life, like us, made up of tens of thousands of genes, risks mutational meltdown as genes pursue their own selfish interests. Likening the process to the guiding hand of a benign demon, Mark Ridley shows how life has evolved as a series of steps to deal with genetic error & coerce genes to co-operate in cells & bodies. Along the way, he reveals two new possible cures for AIDS, speculates on whether we have reached the limit of complexity & warns against the long-term perils of human cloning.

Mendel's Demon guides us through the various novel ways evolution has come up to correct this problem, the most novel way being the most familiar, through sex. Yay sex! What not to like about this book? ( )
