A complete scientific biography of Darwin that takes into account the latest research findings, both published and unpublished, on the life of this remarkable man. Considered the first book to thoroughly emphasize Darwin’s research in various fields of endeavor, what he did, why he did it, and its implications for his time and ours. Rather than following a strictly chronological approach - a narrative choice that characteristically offers an ascent to On the Origin of Species (1859) with a rapid decline in interest following its publication and reception - this book stresses the diversity and full extent of Darwin’s career by providing a series of chapters centering on various intellectual topics and scientific specializations that interested Darwin throughout his life. Authored by academics with years of teaching and discussing Darwin, Darwin's Sciences is suited to any biologist who is interested in the deeper implications of Darwin's research.

With the publication in 1859 of On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, Charles Darwin established evolution by common descent as the dominant scientific explanation for nature's diversity. This was to be his gift to science and society; at last, we had an explanation for how life came to be on Earth. Scientists agree that the evolutionary origin of animals and plants is a scientific conclusion beyond reasonable doubt. They place it beside such established concepts as the roundness of the earth, its revolution around the sun, and the molecular composition of matter. That evolution has occurred, in other words, is a fact. Yet as we approach the bicentennial celebration of Darwin's birth, the world finds itself divided over the truth of evolutionary theory. Consistently endorsed as "good science" by experts and overwhelmingly accepted as fact by the scientific community, it is not always accepted by the public, and our schools continue to be battlegrounds for this conflict. From the Tennessee trial of a biology teacher who dared to teach Darwin's theory to his students in 1925 to Tammy Kitzmiller's 2005 battle to keep intelligent design out of the Dover district schools in Pennsylvania, it's clear that we need to cut through the propaganda to quell the cacophony of raging debate. With the publication of Darwin's Gift, a voice at once fresh and familiar brings a rational, measured perspective to the science of evolution. An acclaimed evolutionary biologist with a background in theology, Francisco Ayala offers clear explanations of the science, reviews the history that led us to ratify Darwin's theories, and ultimately provides a clear path for a confused and conflicted public.

This book aims to encourage the reading of "On the Origin of Species" and to include it in the teaching of evolution. With a comprehensive overview of the development of Darwin's theory, the volume provides relevant aspects of Darwin's life and work in connection with the broader context of his time. The historical and philosophical analysis, mirrored in the socio-cultural scope, enables the diachronic reading of the text. It is built on various sources of historians and philosophers of science and sheds fresh light on them. Its uniqueness is the broad structure that covers four parts: the pre-Darwinian concepts of species changes; some key elements of Darwin's pursuit of the causes of evolution, from his voyage on Beagle to the publication of his groundbreaking work; chapter-by-chapter analysis of the "Origin"; and subsequent developments in evolutionary thought. This book is of interest to undergraduate and graduate students, scholars in history, philosophy, and sociology of science and science education, as well as the general public.

Why—against his mentor’s exhortations to publish—did Charles Darwin take twenty years to reveal his theory of evolution by natural selection? In Darwin’s Evolving Identity, Alistair Sponsel argues that Darwin adopted this cautious approach to atone for his provocative theorizing as a young author spurred by that mentor, the geologist Charles Lyell. While we might expect him to have been tormented by guilt about his private study of evolution, Darwin was most distressed by harsh reactions to his published work on coral reefs, volcanoes, and earthquakes, judging himself guilty of an authorial “sin of speculation.” It was the battle to defend himself against charges of overzealous theorizing as a geologist, rather than the prospect of broader public outcry over evolution, which made Darwin such a cautious author of Origin of Species. Drawing on his own ambitious research in Darwin’s manuscripts and at the Beagle’s remotest ports of call, Sponsel takes us from the ocean to the Origin and beyond. He provides a vivid new picture of Darwin’s career as a voyaging naturalist and metropolitan author, and in doing so makes a bold argument about how we should understand the history of scientific theories.

Darwin in Russian Thought delves into the profound impact of Darwin's theory of evolution on Russian intellectual culture from the 1860s to the October Revolution. This meticulously researched work explores the diversity of Russian responses to Darwinism, highlighting its role in shaping scientific discourse and modern rationalist traditions in imperial Russia. The book offers a comprehensive chronological and thematic analysis, covering the initial reception of Darwin's ideas, their widespread influence across sciences, the waves of criticism they faced, and the rise of alternative evolutionary theories such as neo-Lamarckism and neo-Darwinism. With dedicated chapters on figures defending Darwinian orthodoxy, the various strands of anti-Darwinian thought, and attempts to integrate Darwinism with experimental biology, the study paints a vivid picture of the intellectual landscape. It also examines the radical intelligentsia’s ideological interpretations of Darwin's work and commemorations of his legacy, providing readers with a panoramic view of Russian Darwinism. This book is an essential resource for those interested in the intersections of science, philosophy, and culture in Russia’s pre-revolutionary period. This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press’s mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact. Drawing on a backlist dating to 1893, Voices Revived makes high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarship accessible once again using print-on-demand technology. This title was originally published in 1988.

'The majority of the chapters deal with the reception accorded Darwin's work in specific countries: England, the United States, Germany, France, Russia, the Netherlands, Spain, Mexico, and the Arab countries. Several chapters, however, also investigate the response to Darwinism made by specific social circles--such as social scientists in Russia and the United States

In the tapestry of scientific history, Charles Darwin's name is woven in threads of brilliance. His theory of evolution by natural selection, unveiled in his seminal work On the Origin of Species, transformed our understanding of life's diversity and interconnectedness. Darwin's Legacy: Shaping the World of Science explores the profound impact of his groundbreaking ideas, delving into his life, work, and the enduring legacy he left on science and society. Join us on a journey through Darwin's world, where we witness his voyage aboard the Beagle, a pivotal expedition that ignited his passion for exploration and discovery. We trace his meticulous observations of diverse life forms, his collection of data, and the intellectual struggle that led to his revolutionary theory. Darwin's theory challenged long-held beliefs and sparked a scientific revolution. This book delves into the implications of his work on various fields of science, including genetics, ecology, and evolutionary biology. It examines how Darwin's ideas laid the foundation for modern evolutionary thought and continue to shape our understanding of the natural world. Beyond its scientific significance, Darwinism also had far-reaching societal and cultural repercussions. This book explores the complex relationship between Darwin's theory and religion, the influence of his ideas on literature and art, and the ongoing debates surrounding the applications and ethical considerations of evolutionary science. Darwin's Legacy: Shaping the World of Science is an enthralling journey through the life and work of a scientific giant. It celebrates Darwin's contributions to our understanding of the natural world, explores the impact of his theory on science and society, and invites us to reflect on the enduring legacy of his revolutionary ideas.
