The Discovery of Evolution

"Using an historical narrative of discovery, covering 300 years of development, from the work of the early naturalists to the modern synthesis of evolutionary theory, David Young explains the theory of evolution. Numerous illustrations add interest and important detail to the narrative." "Providing a fresh introduction to evolution, The Discovery of Evolution assumes no previous knowledge of biology, making it ideal material for the non-specialist, and useful background material for the more advanced biology student."--Jacket.
