| Summary: | Darwin's revolution in thought using evolutionary biology, history of science, and social history as his canvas, Gould paints the fascinating picture of how human biases (philosophical, cultural, and spiritual) have continued to resist Darwin's theory, inverting it into its own philosophical opposite. "If there's one thing we desperately want evolution to be, it's a principle that predicts progress ... but it just isn't so."-- Stephen Jay Gould. For the first time on video, Stephen Jay Gould presents his definitive treatise on Charles Darwin's unique and radical contribution to evolutionary biology- and why it has been so poorly understood. Filmed before a live audience, this program has been used in colleges, universities, and schools around the world. |
