Synopsis

The Neanderthal Skull on Evolution, in an Address Supposed to Be Delivered A. D. 2085 presents a critical, historically grounded look at views on evolution, natural selection, and teleology. Through excerpts and commentary, the book frames a conversation among scientists, philosophers, and theologians about how ideas of descent, design, and the origins of life have been treated across centuries.


Readers will encounter a careful synthesis of famous opinions and debated points, including references to Darwin, Tyndall, Huxley, and others. The work weighs claims about evidence, hypothesis, and the role of religious belief in scientific discussion, and it challenges readers to consider how scientific theories have evolved in response to new data and philosophical perspectives.



  • Explore how editors and commentators weigh hypotheses and the meaning of “an hypothesis” vs. “a dogma.”

  • See discussions of design versus natural processes and the idea of teleology in biology.

  • Encounter critiques of famous figures’ positions and the reception of evolutionary theory in late 19th-century science.

  • Consider how ideas about human origins intersect with faith, philosophy, and interpretation of scripture.


Ideal for readers interested in the history of evolutionary thought, scientific debates, and the interplay between science and faith.
