{"product_id":"darwin-jonathan-howard-9780192854544","title":"Darwin: A Very Short Introduction","description":"Darwin's theory that man's ancestors were apes caused an uproar within the scientific world, as well as public frenzy when \u003cem\u003eThe Origin of Species\u003c\/em\u003e was published in 1859. Arguments still rage about the implications of his evolutionary theory, and skepticism about the value of Darwin's contribution to knowledge is widespread. In this analysis of Darwin's major insights and arguments, Jonathan Howard reasserts the importance of Darwin's work for the development of modern biology. He offers a stimulating view of the famous scientist in a concise, handy format, making it a masterpiece for all Darwinians as well as for all general readers of popular science. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Series: \u003c\/strong\u003eCombining authority with wit, accessibility, and style, \u003cstrong\u003eVery Short Introductions \u003c\/strong\u003eoffer an introduction to some of life's most interesting topics.
