Description
The digital edition of all books may be viewed on our website before purchase. Darwin and After Darwin by George John Romanes is considered to be one of the best pieces of work on the Darwinian theory of evolution. The book is spread across ten chapters which logically pans out the entire discourse on Darwinism. With dedicated portions on morphology, embryology and palaeontology among other strands, this is perhaps the perfect primer on Darwinian thought.
Romanes expertly postulates the existing evidence for Darwinian Theory and focuses not just on natural and sexual selection but also dedicates an entire section to the criticism it received as well, so that the reader is not left with a lopsided view. Towards the end linkages are drawn to the relationship Darwinian thought has on the fundamentals of religion as well. Darwin and After Darwin is endowed with many illustrations to make descriptions and concepts as clear and concise as possible, with a list in the beginning for easy access to specific segments.
Romanes holds his own in refuting some of the more serious criticisms faced by Darwinian Theory. In that sense Darwin and After Darwin is not just a compilation of material but a scholarly attempt to expound various concepts in crisp, clear language. As Romanes himself claims, this is a perfect read for the layman as well as scholars of the subject because he has ensured that not a single portion of this work assumes any existing knowledge of the reader on the topic.
