Darwin's Century by Loren Eiseley Vintage Paperback (1961) Science Evolution

Description: Darwin's Century : Evolution and the Men who Discovered It by Loren Eiseley. A Doubleday Anchor Book. 1961. Copyright 1958. Printed in the USA. About 4.25" x 7" in size. 378 Pages. Former library book. Vintage paperback. In one of its most important aspects - the development of the concept of evolution - the nineteenth century may truly be called "Darwin's Century." This is a definitive account, by one of America's most distinguished anthropologists, of how that concept came about, what its components were, and why it so deeply affected man's view of himself. At the heart of the account is the figure of Charles Darwin, his career, his creative achievements, his impact on the Victorian world; but the story neither begins nor ends with him. Starting with the seventeenth-century notion of the Great Chain of Being, Dr. Eiseley traces the achievements and discoveries of men in many fields of science who paved the way for Darwin; and the book concludes with an extensive discussion of the ways in which Darwin's work has been challenged, improved upon, and occasionally refuted during the past hundred years.
