Description
Zombie Science: More Icons of Evolution by Jonathan Wells A follow-up to the influential Icons of Evolution, this book explores how discredited scientific icons continue to persist in biology textbooks. The author argues that empirical science is devolving into "zombie science", where opposing evidence is ignored and bogus ideas are perpetuated. Wells examines various examples of these icons, including Ernst Haeckel's faked embryo drawings, and discusses the implications for our culture and scientific progress.
