- More about On The Origin of Evolution: Tracing 'Darwin's Dangerous Idea' from Aristotle to DNA
The theory of evolution by natural selection was not invented by Charles Darwin, but it built on previous ideas and developed in the 20th century with genetics and biochemical understanding.
Format: Hardback
Length: 304 pages
Publication date: 15 August 2022
Publisher: Prometheus Books
The theory of evolution by natural selection did not emerge fully formed and unprecedented from the mind of Charles Darwin. The concept of evolution had been circulating in various forms since ancient times, dating back to Ancient Greece. Moreover, the theorization of evolution did not cease with what Daniel Dennett referred to as Darwin's dangerous idea. In this captivating new book, acclaimed science writers John and Mary Gribbin delve into the history of the idea of evolution, demonstrating how Darwin's theory built upon what came before and how it evolved over the twentieth century, through an understanding of genetics and the biochemical foundations of evolution, into the so-called modern synthesis and beyond. While Darwin rightly deserves recognition as the primary proponent of the notion of natural selection, the authors emphasize that his contribution was merely one link in a long chain that extends back into antiquity and continues to be forged today.
