Synopsis

Richard Milner's encyclopaedia proves that few aspects of human culture and thought have been untouched by our attempts to understand and explain how life arose and evolved on this planet. The concept of human evolution has been a primary subject of fascination throughout the ages and particularly since the Darwinian revolution 150 years ago. The search to understand how life evolved has been explored by scientists, scholars, lawyers, philosophers, religious enthusiasts and artists. "The Encyclopaedia of Evolution" offers more than 500 entries which cover every aspect of evolutionary thought from the most scholarly to the most popular. Offering not only a compendium of the quest for human origin, this volume also relates scientific ideas to major themes in Western thought and their impact on literature, politics and popular culture.
