5.0 out of 5 stars The most significant book you'll ever read!, March 7, 1998

By A Customer

Darwin's evolution is boring, but all encompassing. This book makes it understandable and interesting for those not interested in reading the Origen of the Species. Who would? You will see how the principles make so many daily encounters make sense. Evolution is not just for species. It's for everything.

4.0 out of 5 stars A good, if somewhat outdated, review of Darwin, Genes and Evolution., October 1, 2009

By	Warren R. Grayson "Constant Reader" (Birmingham, AL United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: Nature And Man's Fate (Hardcover)

This is a great book if you like Garrett Hardin and the way he thinks. It begins with a brief history of Darwin and the contemporary reactions to his theory of evolution. It is followed by a lengthy summary of what evolution is (according to scientific standards in 1959), comparing Darwinian evolution to Lamarckian evolution and he explains extensively why Lamarck was wrong. Hardin then introduces Mendel and genetics while simultaneously acknowledging that genetic research was still in its infancy at the time. Hardin thoroughly covers the topic of Eugenics towards the end of the book and explains why it is wrong headed thinking (most of the time). He examines positive and negative eugenics and examines each in depth. Clearly, Hardin favors population control measures yet, doesn't out an out condone the practice. This is a good book even though it is outdated; it is worth it just to get a flavor of Hardin's thought processes at work and also as a lead in to, Living within Limits: Ecology, Economics, and Population Taboos, which I highly recommend (5 stars).
