Charles Darwin called on a broad and unusually powerful combination
of critical thinking skills to create his wide-ranging explanation
for biological change, On the Origin of Species. It's one of those
rare books that takes a huge problem - the enormous diversity of
different species - and seeks to use a vast range of evidence to
solve it. But it was perhaps Darwin's towering creative prowess
that made the most telling contribution to this masterpiece, for it
was this that enabled him to make the necessary fresh connections
between so much disparate evidence from such a diversity of fields.
All of Darwin's critical thinking skills were required, however, in
the course of the decades of work that went into this volume. Taken
as a whole, Darwin's solution to the problem that he set himself is
carefully researched, considers multiple explanations, and
justifies its conclusions with well-organised reasoning. At the
time of the publication, in 1859, there were various explanations
for the changes that Darwin - and others - observed; what separated
Darwin from so many of his contemporaries is that he deployed
critical thinking to arrive at a significantly new way of fitting
explanation to evidence; one that remains elegant, complete and
predictive to this day.
