Of Apes and Ancestors

Evolution, Christianity, and the Oxford Debate

Beschreibung

By reconstructing the Oxford debate of 1860 on the merits of Charles Darwin's Origin of Species, and carefully considering the individual perspectives of the main participants, Ian Hesketh argues that personal jealousies and professional agendas played a formative role in shaping the response to Darwin's hypothesis.
