Replacing Darwin: The New Origin of Species
Nathaniel JeansonHardback 2017-09-01
"When Darwin published On the Origin of Species in 1859, he provoked a scientific revolution. After Darwin died, three scientific developments quietly rewrote his conclusions. This book chronicles these developments and their massive implications for the debate over the origin of species.
My purpose in writing this book is audacious: To effect another scientific revolution, one as big as Darwin's.
Part of my role in this book is narrator--telling the stories of the discoveries made by countless other scientists who preceded me. The other role I play is active participant. This book records several of the key discoveries that I and my colleagues have made within the last few years.
My hope is that readers will gain an appreciation for the nature of the science, the thrill of discovery, and the current explanation of the origin of species. I also hope this book will light a fire under the next generation of research biologists who can complete the task of discovering the origin of species."
