This review is from: The Descent of Man (Dover Books on Biology) (Paperback)
Some books hold their place in history as legendary for their impact on society. Charles Darwin authored many of these books. "The Descent of Man" is a re-publishing of his work, with abridging and introduction from Michael Ghiselin. A follow up on "On the Origin of Species", Darwin continues to discuss the roots of humanity, sharing ancestors with apes and other primates, a claim which has earned Darwin notoriety and praise alike. "The Descent of Man" is a must for anyone who wants to read Darwin's work themselves, highly recommended.

I wanted the full text, not the Reader's Digest Condensed version. What are the Darwinists trying to hide by condensing and removing some text?????
