In 1871, Charles Darwin released "The Descent of Man," a companion to "Origin of Species," in which he sought to explain human evolution, a subject he deemed the highest and most fascinating challenge for the naturalist. A Most Interesting Problem brings together twelve renowned scholars and science communicators to explore what Darwin got right and wrong regarding the origin, history, and biological diversity of humans. Edited by Jeremy DeSilva and with an introduction by acclaimed Darwin biographer Janet Browne, A Most Interesting Problem draws on the latest discoveries in fields such as genetics, paleontology, bioarchaeology, anthropology, and primatology. This compelling and accessible book tackles the very subjects Darwin explores in "Descent," including the evidence for human evolution, our place in the family tree, the origins of civilization, human races, and sex differences.
A Most Interesting Problem serves as a testament to how scientific ideas are tested and how evidence helps shape our narratives about human origins. It demonstrates how some of Darwin's ideas have withstood more than a century of scrutiny, while others have not. The book features contributions by Janet Browne, Jeremy DeSilva, Holly Dunsworth, Agustín Fuentes, Ann Gibbons, Yohannes Haile-Selassie, Brian Hare, John Hawks, Suzana Herculano-Houzel, Kristina Killgrove, Alice Roberts, and Michael J. Ryan.
