| Summary |
In this book the author unravels Darwin's life and contribution to biology in a brilliantly lucid manner, and traces the path from his scientific predecessors to the later modifications that his own evolutionary theories required. In this way, he provides an unusually clear historical perspective on the progress from pre-Darwinain biology to modern genetics and the crucial discovery of chromosomes |
