In the 150 years since the publication of Origin of Species, Charles Darwin has been considered between two extremes-a great biologist or heretic (持异端学说者). However, the truth is much more difficult to understand than that. In any case, Darwin's theory of evolution and natural selection had the greatest influence in history. In The Darwin Myth, author Benjamin Wiker offers a full-side analysis of Darwin's theories as well as the social, scientific, and religious effect of his work. Scientists often cause debates (争论) that will last for generations for their new theory. Still, no scientist has caused more debates than Charles Darwin. To some he is the revolutionary "father" of evolution. To others his theory of evolution unconsciously disagrees with many ideas in modern eugenics. (优生学) In The Darwin Myth: The Life and Lies of Charles Darwin, author Benjamin Wiker will make them clear. Contents So who is Charles Darwin? What did he really believe and what did his research really prove? In this book, Benjamin Wiker cuts through the myths. In The Darwin Myth, Wiker tells us: ★How Darwin set out to create a godless Theory of Evolution; ★Why many of his best friends criticized Darwin's theory, and why he never defended himself; ★Why Darwin's theory in a certain way supported slavery, an institution he hated; ★How much of what we know about Darwin comes from his autobiography (自传), which the key points are completely misleading. | |
