Hardcover. Condición: new. Hardcover. Since Charles Darwins death in 1882, people across the world have used forms of commemoration and memorialization to celebrate, and at times critique, various aspects of Darwins scientific, social, and cultural impact. Commemorative events, activities, and publications marking major anniversaries of Darwins birth and death, of the publication of On the Origin of Species (1859) and other works, and of the Beagle voyage, have been occasions for the casting and recasting of narratives of the history of evolutionary science, spurs to new historical research, and episodes in the public legitimation of contemporary scientific developments. They have engendered much discussion and debate about relations between evolution and religious belief as well as political questions related to issues of nation-building and social development. This volume examines these commemorative activities in global perspective, exploring the complexity of meanings of Darwin and his science to different social, cultural, scientific, and national groups, from the moment of Darwins death up to the recent sesquicentennial of The Descent of Man (1871) in 2021. Since Charles Darwins death in 1882, people across the world have used forms of commemoration and memorialization to celebrate, and at times critique, various aspects of Darwins scientific, social, and cultural impact.
