Late in the afternoon of April 4, 1968, a company of the 82nd Airborne Division was inserted by helicopter into what was believed to be a blocking position. Instead, the paratroopers were delivered into a killing zone. Ten men were killed and seventeen wounded, which prompted the company commander to request medevac and gunship support. After two medevac helicopters were struck by enemy fire and forced to abandon their recovery effort, one of the supporting gunships from the 101st Airborne Division landed twice in the dark and carried out ten wounded.

An ancient Greek in a traveling cloak stood on the plain at Giza, in the shadow of the pyramids, and had many questions. He wanted to know how the great stones had been raised, how many men had labored on them and for how long, what the workers had eaten, and what the marks carved into the casing recorded. Egyptian priests gave him answers, an interpreter turned their words into Greek, and the traveler wrote everything down, the plausible and the fantastic side by side, because he had come a very long way to learn it. He had no intention of leaving anything out.

Everyone knows what Charles Darwin said. Almost everyone is wrong. He did not discover that species change; his own grandfather had written verse about that. He did not say we descended from monkeys, and he was careful not to. What he did was stranger and far more dangerous: he removed foresight from the explanation of complexity. Before him, the appearance of design required a designer. After him, it required only time, variation, and the quiet arithmetic of who leaves offspring. This book follows that idea from a Shropshire garden to the inside of a machine.
