Résumé
The theory of evolution by natural selection did not spring fully formed from the brain of Charles Darwin. Rather it had been debated by philosophers and scientists the world over for thousands of years. On the Origin of Evolution traces the evolution of the idea of evolution, showing how it has changed and been changed by different thinkers and their societies over time. It will put 'Darwin's Dangerous Idea' into its proper context, showing how it built on what went before and how it has developed in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, through an understanding of genetics and the biochemical foundations of evolution.
Without diminishing Darwin's achievement in perceiving the way evolution works at the level of individuals and species, this book highlights his contribution as one link in a chain that extends back into antiquity, and is still being forged today.
