Most Interesting Problem
Hardback
What Darwin's Descent of Man Got Right and Wrong about Human Evolution
In 1871, Charles Darwin published The Descent of Man, a companion to Origin of Species in which he attempted to explain human evolution, a topic he called 'the highest and most interesting problem for the naturalist.'
A Most Interesting Problem brings together twelve world-class scholars and science communicators to investigate what Darwin got right and what he got wrong about the origin, history, and biological variation of humans. This compelling and accessible book tackles the very subjects Darwin explores in Descent, including the evidence for human evolution, our place in the family tree, the origins of civilisation, human races, and sex differences.Buy now!
