Synopsis
Without diminishing Darwinâ€s achievement, this study aims to show that ‘his contribution was one link in a chain that extends back into antiquityâ€. Beginning with Aristotle and Empedocles, the authors argue that the idea of evolution had been around for centuries before Darwin published his theory of evolution by natural selection, and they describe how that theory has been improved upon, particularly by developments in genetics during the 20th century.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. A Waterstones Best Book of 2020 The theory of evolution by natural selection did not spring fully formed and unprecedented from the brain of Charles Darwin. Rather it has been examined and debated by philosophers the world over for thousands of years. This lively history traces the evolution of the idea of evolution, showing how it has changed and been changed by different societies over time. It will put 'Darwins Dangerous Idea' into its proper context, showing how it built on what went before and how it was developed in the twentieth century, through an understanding of genetics and the biochemical basis evolution. None of this diminishes the achievement of Darwin himself in perceiving the way evolution works at the level of individuals and species, but his contribution was one link in a chain that extends back into antiquity, and is still being forged today. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Seller Inventory # GOR011514788
