Description

Darwin's Descent of Man: A Reevaluation of Human Evolution. In 1871, Charles Darwin published his influential book, The Descent of Man, in which he applied evolutionary theory to humans. One hundred and fifty years later, twelve leading experts revisit this foundational work, comparing Darwin's ideas with our current understanding of human evolution. This book offers a fresh perspective on the enduring relevance of Darwin's theories, while also acknowledging the significant advances made in the field since his time. By examining what Darwin wrote about human evolution, these authors provide a nuanced assessment of his contributions and limitations. Hardcover, 258 pages.
