Joseph Le Conte was the first geologist, natural historian and
botanist to be appointed to the University of California in 1869.
He founded the successful palaeontology program at Berkeley and
acquired important collections of fossils. He also lectured and
wrote on evolution, of which he was the leading American proponent.
This book, first published in 1888 but revised and expanded in the
second edition reissued here, is his attempt to reconcile his
evolutionist convictions with his religious faith. Such a
synthesis, he felt, was impeded by dogmatism on both sides, and he
makes a case for 'a combining, reconciling and rational view.' He
considers three questions: What is evolution? Is it true? and What
then?, intending to address 'the intelligent general reader'
without being superficial or unscientific. Concepts such as
'neo-Darwinism', 'materialism', and 'design' make their appearance
in this wide-ranging book, whose concerns remain surprisingly
topical today.
