Synopsis
The Last Link: Our Present Knowledge of the Descent of Man examines how the theory of descent explains humanity’s place in nature and what the evidence says about our evolutionary history.
This edition surveys the three core strands that shaped Darwin’s legacy—transformism, natural selection, and the anthropogeny of humans—and how modern biology tests these ideas. It frames the debate through the voices of key scientists, from Darwin and Huxley to Cuvier and Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire, and shows how anatomy, embryology, and fossils converge to map our animal pedigree.
- How natural selection and descent connect humanity to other vertebrates and primates.
- The role of anatomy, embryology, and fossil evidence in tracing our ancestry.
- Historical debates among major figures and how they shaped evolutionary thinking.
- Approaches to measuring deep time and the generations involved in evolution.
