Progress in genetics today would not have been possible without Darwin's revolution, but the mysterious man who undermined belief in God's creation was remarkably timid. He spent most of his life in seclusion, a semi-invalid riddled with doubts, fearing the controversy his theories might unleash. In this book, the author unravels Darwin's life and contribution to biology and traces the path from his scientific predecessors to the later modifications that his own evolutionary theories required. In this way, he provides a clear historical perspective on the progress from pre-Darwinian biology to modern genetics and the crucial discovery of chromosomes.

Prendendo l'avvio dal pensiero biologico che ha reso possibile un'opera come "Sull'origine della specie", il libro illustra la figura rivoluzionaria di Charles Darwin, un uomo timido e riservato che ha passato la maggior parte della sua esistenza lontano dal mondo accademico, uno studioso oppresso dai dubbi e dalle controversie suscitate dalle sue teorie, ma anche un appassionato ricercatore che ha finito col minare i fondamenti del pensiero occidentale e le verità rivelate sulla creazione del mondo. Il volume mostra lo sviluppo scientifico dell'opera darwiniana dando ampio spazio alla sequenza dei predecessori, degli oppositori, dei sostenitori e, soprattutto, dei continuatori.
