Product Description
Although Darwin was not the first scientist to propose a theory of evolution of species, he was the first to develop a workable explanation for how evolution takes place -- natural selection. (20010301)

Very well done and informative February 28, 2001
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This book is very well done and informative in that it tells all the main points about Darwin and his famous theory of evolution, how it came about, as well as the opinions of some of the people who have voiced disagreement about it. The format is a series of essays written by well-known scientists, historians and others. The editor has done a nice job of picking readings that are easy to understand but not so easy as to be on a child's level. There are some serious quotes in there by Darwin and his colleagues and other scientists, as well as some stuff by the creationists, who of course think evolution never happened. This book would be good for students, but adults will get plenty out of it too.
