About this book
Key takeaway: Darwin did not begin every discussion of evolution. This book gives students and curious readers the historical context behind evolutionary science. Paperback, ISBN 9781915025241, published by PaperCraft Publishers.
The origins of evolutionary thinking
Most people associate evolution with Charles Darwin, but the roots of the idea go back more than a thousand years. The book shows how philosophers, scholars and naturalists questioned the origins of life and the diversity of living organisms long before On the Origin of Species, and connects those early observations with modern science.
