Contrary to a common myth, the theory of evolution through natural selection did not arise in a completely ready -made form in the minds of one person - Charles Darwin. She was studied and discussed by thinkers around the world for millennia.
This exciting book traces the history of the idea of evolution, which has developed and modified in different societies for many centuries. John and Mary Gribbin are placed by the “dangerous idea of Darwin” in a proper context, showing how it arose on the previously laid -up foundation of scientific thought and how in the 20th century it was further developed thanks to genetics and molecular biology. None of this in no way detract from the merits of Darwin himself in explaining how evolution affects individual individuals and entire species. But, as you will see, after reading this book, its contribution only to the link of a long chain, which goes one end to the gray -haired antiquity and continues to go into our time
