Sinopsis

Simply Darwinátells the story ofáCharles Robert Darwiná(1809&ndash,1882) and his theory of evolution through natural selection.áOn one level, the book portrays a dedicated scientist who, through careful observation and brilliant insight, became convinced that organisms were the end product of a long, slow, and natural process of development. On another level, it is an account of a cataclysmic change in our ideas about ourselves&mdash,a conceptual upheaval that continues to generate aftershocks&mdash,and heated debates&mdash,to this day.InáSimply Darwin, authoráMichael Ruseáputs Darwin and his ideas in their proper context, clearly showing that, while theáfather of evolutionary biologyáwas a true trailblazer, he was no rebel. He was simply following an evidentiary trail that led to an inevitable conclusion about the origin of species and natural selection. Eventually, as Darwin and his fellow scientists began to apply his ideas to humans, long-held notions about the nature and origins of religion, morality, race, sexuality, and much more, were called into question. Then, as now, some of us embraced these provocative ideas, while others reacted with horror and disbelief.In recounting this fascinating and inspiring story, Ruse doesn&rsquo,t neglect the visual component that has always been an inherent part of evolutionary thought.áSimply Darwináfeaturesácopious illustrations, which provide an informative and captivating elementáto this riveting account.
