Sinopsis
Excerpt from The Meaning of Organic Evolution
We cannot let go of the past nor the past of us. We are out of 'the past and must live upon foundations there laid. The problem of intelligent growth and progress in life is, with ripening time, to replace what is outgrown and noxious in these foundations with the strong elements of the new in such a way as to keep intact the framework of the high ideas and ideals won and proved in the past struggles of the race and coming to us as a priceless heritage. Our problem is one of assimilation, not one of destruction.

Excerpt from The Meaning of Organic Evolution
No scientific law has ever been more widely misunderstood as to its content, or more thoroughly and persistently misapprehended as to its significance than has that of Evolution or Organic Descent. The problems of life are throughout largely problems of adjustment; and it is only natural, therefore, for people to suspect, fear or oppose anything strange or not mentally comprehended, inasmuch as their lack of experience and knowledge with reference to it leaves them to grope more or less in uncertainty. Hence, since the minds of most persons in the ordinary walks of life are but meagerly provided with the ideas and materials upon which the theory is based and as a consequence form the conception, if at all, with difficulty and but imperfectly, we can readily understand why Evolution, or what has passed for it, has met with such prejudice and opposition. Misunderstanding on the part of church members, in particular, has been very unfortunate; for the consequent opposition, prolonged and often bitter, has in reality been without rational justification and has resulted in much harm through hampering both intellectual and religious progress. The issues of this conflict, now so far a matter of history, in fact, attest the truth and give specific illustration of the following proposition formulated many years ago by Andrew D. White:
"In all modern history interference with science in the supposed interest of religion, no matter how conscientious such interference may have been, has resulted in the direst evils both to religion and science, and invariably; and, on the other hand, all untrammeled scientific investigation, no matter how dangerous to religion some of its stages may have seemed for the time to be, has invariably resulted in the highest good both of religion and of science."
The following pages are written in non-technical terms for the general reader, their purpose being briefly to explain certain aspects of Organic Descent about which misunderstanding and misapprehension seem particularly to cling.

Impresión bajo demandaLibrería: Forgotten Books, London, Reino Unido

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book charts the evolution of the Evolution theory from its ancient roots to its present place as the lodestar of the natural sciences. By the middle of the nineteenth century, debate raged between proponents of sudden, divinely ordained Creation of fixed species and those who saw species as malleable entities shaped by gradual, cumulative change over vast time scales. This book examines how the ideas of Lamarck, Darwin, Wallace, and many others were refined over centuries of research and experimentation, leading to the modern understanding that all living organisms share a common ancestor. It outlines the core principles of Evolution - descent with modification, common ancestry, and natural selection - and shows how these principles provide a powerful conceptual framework not just for biology but for all of science. This book shows how Evolution, far from diminishing the wonder of life, has vastly enriched our understanding and deepened our awe of the natural world.
