Opis

This absorbing study of the Victorian controversies over the cultural meaning of evolution broadens our perspective by including these and other prominents individuals. Fichman traces the emergence of science as a definitive political and cultural force in this critical period, showing that evolutionary biology was at the epicienter of these profound sociocultural transformations. His astute analysis of the often vehement Victorian debates on the political, religious, racial, and ethical implications of evolutionary thought reveals how science came to be inseparable from the broader culture. He also relates 19th-century controversies to culture debates in the 20th century, in particular the notorious Scopes trial (1925) and the later, and ongoing, debate about "scientific creation ism."
