Publisher's Summary

The Revolutionary Phenotype is a science book that brings us four billion years into the past, when the first living molecules showed up on Planet Earth. Unlike what was previously thought, we learn that DNA-based life did not emerge from random events in a primordial soup. Indeed, the first molecules of DNA were fabricated by a previous life form. By describing the fascinating events referred to as phenotypic revolutions, this book provides a dire warning to humanity: if humans continue to play with their own genes, we will be the next life form to fall to our own creation. 

Note that this is an audiobook read directly by the author, who has a French accent.

This is out future unless we can stop it

JF is a relatively unknown genius of biology. He has cracked the code, that previously eluded the like of Richard Dawkins, making his own book, The Selfish Gene, incomplete. Most other big names in evolutionary biology have yet to acknowledge JF's contribution through this book. I hope they do it in time to save humanity.

Too much instrumental music for an audiobook

There was 3 minutes of instrumental music at the end of each chapter and 19 chapters. This book is only 5 hours long and so a full 20% of it is instrumental music you will need to skip over ever 15 minutes...
