The theory of evolution by natural selection did not spring fully
formed and unprecedented from the brain of Charles Darwin. The idea
of evolution had been around, in various guises, since the time of
Ancient Greece. And nor did theorizing about evolution stop with
what Daniel Dennett called "Darwin's dangerous idea." In this
riveting new book, bestselling science writers John and Mary
Gribbin explore the history of the idea of evolution, showing how
Darwin's theory built on what went before and how it was developed
in the twentieth century, through an understanding of genetics and
the biochemical basis of evolution, into the so-called "modern
synthesis" and beyond. Darwin deserves his recognition as the
primary proponent of the idea of natural selection, but as the
authors show, his contribution was one link in a chain that extends
back into antiquity and is still being forged today.
