Darwinian Heresies Book

Darwinian Heresies looks at the history of evolutionary thought, breaking through much of the conventional thinking and seeing if there are assumption or theories that are blinding us to important issues. The collection, which includes some of today's leading historians and philosophers of science, digs beneath the surface and shows that not all is precisely as it is too often assumed. It is suggested that Darwin's true roots lie in Germany, not his native England, that Russian evolutionism is more signifcant than many are prepared to allow, and that the true influence on twentieth century evolution biology was not Charles Darwin at all, but his often-despised contemporary, Herbert Spencer.Read More

  • Product Description

    In Darwinian Heresies, some of today's leading historians and philosophers of science trace the history of evolutionary thought, and challenge many of the assumptions that have built up over the years. Covering a wide range of issues starting in the eighteenth century, Darwinian Heresies brings us through the time of Charles Darwin and the Origin, and then through the twentieth century to the present. It is suggested that Darwin's true roots lie in Germany, not his native England, that Russian evolutionism is more significant than many are prepared to allow, and that the true influence on twentieth-century evolution biology was not Charles Darwin at all, but his often-despised contemporary, Herbert Spencer. The collection is guaranteed to interest, to excite, to infuriate, and to stimulate further work.
