This work surveys a century of scientific and philosophical progress, tracing how new discoveries challenged traditional authority and reshaped our understanding of the world.
From the early spark of evolutionary thought to the modern critique of sacred texts, the book presents a measured, historically grounded view of how ideas spread, how evidence shaped thinking, and how society adapts its beliefs in light of new knowledge.
