Evolution/ Science/ Darwin/ Biography Darwin's Lost Theory is the
third and pivotal book for the six book Darwin Anniversary Cycle by
pioneering evolutionary systems scientist David Loye. Powerfully
contradicting the long embedded stereotype of "survival of the
fittest" and "selfish gene" Darwinism, this is David Loye's widely
acclaimed reconstruction of Darwin's long ignored "fully human,
love and moral-action-oriented" completion for his theory of
evolution. In Part I: A Young Man's Bold Vision, we meet and get to
know Darwin in the critical months during which he first strayed on
what became the known theory of evolution, for which he became
famous, but also the seemingly contrary insights in his private
notebooks, which became the long ignored completion for his theory.
In Part II: An Old Man's Surprises, it's 30 years later. We follow
Darwin as he writes of how, rather than being slaves of "selfish
genes," far more often than we are aware, we are driven by moral
sensitivity. Of how, though selfish, we are also driven by love to
transcend selfishness. Of how, though fiercely motivated to survive
and prevail, we are also driven by a transcendent need to respect
and care for the needs of others. Surrounded by his seven children
working as publishing and research assistants, the love of his
life, his wife Emma, the orchids in his greenhouses, his dog Bob
and 274 year old giant sea turtle, we are there as Darwin writes
not of how we are driven blindly, witlessly, through a life with no
predictability, but instead by a brain that demands of life a sense
of meaning and purpose, and by the vision of a better future. Among
endorsements by leading world scientists: "Everyone concerned
withour understanding of evolution on this planet owes Loye a deep
debt of gratitude" ~ pioneering general evolution theorist Ervin
Laszlo. "The most exciting book I have ever read on Darwin" ~
pioneering biophysicist Mae Wan-Ho. "In this work Loye has brought
his unique erudition to an enormous and critical task, and carried
it off with genius" ~ pioneering chaos theorist Ralph Abraham.
