An American version was published as Darwin's Ghost: The Origin of Species Updated (ISBN 978-0-375-50103-6).
The title refers to Darwin's observation that a bear, swimming in a lake and catching insects in its mouth, might conceivably evolve over time into a creature "almost like a whale". This statement attracted much ridicule at the time.
