Synopsis
This book insightfully discusses Darwin's influence not only in biological sciences but also in the humanities, encompassing subjects like social sciences, ethics, logic, and philosophy. The author, a prominent Darwinian, delves into the lesser-known psychological and sociological theories that emerged from or were highly influenced by Darwin's work. At the heart of the book lies the concept of 'organic selection', where the author proposes an alternative to the neo-Darwinian view of heredity, suggesting that natural selection operates not just on inherited traits but also on acquired characteristics. The book concludes by examining the religious implications of Darwin's theories and their impact on our understanding of the natural world and our place within it.
