Theory of Evolution: A History of Controversy

What makes evolution such a profoundly provocative concept, so convincing to most scientists, yet so socially and politically divisive? The Theory of Evolution: A History of Controversy is an examination of the varied elements that so often make this science the object of strong sentiments and heated debate. Professor Edward J. Larson leads you through the "evolution" of evolution, with an eye toward enhancing your understanding of the development of the theory itself and the roots of the controversies that surround it. In these lectures you will: explore pre-Darwinian theories on the origins of life; examine the history of evolutionary science after Darwin; trace the history of objections to evolution; and much more.
