Synopsis
Excerpt from Fifty Years of Darwinism: Modern Aspects of Evolution; Centennial Addresses in Honor of Charles Darwin, Before the American Association for the Advancement of Science, Baltimore, Friday, January 1, 1909
The greatness of a man is shown in what he is, in what he does, and in What he sets a-doing.
If the long list of contributions to the ses sions Of this Association for these fifty years were searched for products of thought whose stimulus sprang from the life and works Of Charles Darwin, it would reveal an impressive testimonial to his greatness as a power in our scientific world. If it were possible to give such an intellectual product a material embodiment and an appropriate form, we could raise no more sincere monument to his memory. Even in the less tangible form it inevitably bears, it is our monument. By responses, individual and col lective, to the marvelous suggestiveness Of Dar win's inquiries and interpretations, the members of this Association during the last half century have been paying their truest tributes. More or less unconsciously, no doubt, but none the less genuinely, we have thus been doing honor to one Of the greatest of intellectual leaders.

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the legacy of Charles Darwin and his groundbreaking theory of evolution by natural selection, marking a pivotal moment in scientific history. The author examines the development of Darwin's ideas, highlighting his influences, his collaborations with other prominent scientists, and the intense debates that ensued after the publication of his seminal work, "On the Origin of Species." The book explores the various criticisms levied against Darwin's theory, including the objection that it contradicted religious dogma and the persistent challenge posed by Lamarck's concept of the inheritance of acquired characteristics. The author meticulously unravels Darwin's complex interactions with his contemporaries, including his close friendships with prominent figures such as Joseph Hooker and Asa Gray, and his less amicable encounters with figures like Richard Owen and St. George Mivart. The book offers a rich tapestry of scientific inquiry, personal relationships, and intellectual conflict, ultimately revealing the profound impact of Darwin's work on the scientific landscape and the enduring power of his ideas.
