Klappentext
Our current controversies very often have as their starting point some vagueness in Darwin's writings or a question Darwin was unable to answer owing to the insufficient biological knowledge available in his time. But one returns to Darwin's original writings for more than historical reasons. Darwin frequently understood things far more clearly than both his supporters and his opponents, including those of the present day.

Zusammenfassung
The great evolutionist Mayr elucidates the subtleties of Darwin's thought and that of his contemporaries and intellectual heirsA. R. Wallace, T. H. Huxley, August Weisman, Asa Gray. Mayr has achieved a remarkable distillation of Darwin's scientific thought and his legacy to twentieth-century biology.
