The Discovery of Evolution explains what the theory of evolution
is all about by providing a historical narrative of discovery. Some
of the major puzzles that confront anyone studying living things
are discussed and it details how these were solved from an
evolutionary perspective. Beginning with the emergence of the early
naturalists in the seventeenth century, the scientific discoveries
that led up to and then flowed from Darwin and Wallace''s theory of
evolution by natural selection are then discussed, and finally the
modern evolutionary studies at the close of the twentieth century
are detailed. This new edition of The Discovery of Evolution is
fully updated and contains a new chapter on the evolutionary
studies of the twentieth century. By approaching the topic of
evolution in this way, it is made accessible to the non-specialist
and no previous study of biology is required in order to read and
understand this book.
