Darwin deleted : imagining a world without Darwin / Peter J. Bowler

by Peter Bowler

This counterfactual history explores how evolutionary biology might have progressed if the theory of natural selection had not been published. It analyses non-Darwinian traditions to demonstrate the historical contingency of the conflict between science and religion.
