Résumé
An examination of the apparent contradiction between the conventional surface of Charles Darwin's life and the revolutionary implications of his theories. A committed scientist and respectable Victorian husband and father, he was drawn step by step into publishing The Origin… of Species, a book that would earn him both vilification and immortality. Darwin was part of a history of ideas beginning with the ancient Greeks and continuing in the present with the latest breakthroughs in molecular biology. This book explores how Darwin's findings have helped us understand the formation of galaxies, and what relation the theory of natural selection has to the new science of chaos. 1995.
