Description
In the second volume of the Discovering Lifes Story series by best-selling author Joy Hakim, the theory of evolution takes holdtransforming ideas about survival, extinction, and life itself.
Can species change? Or go extinct? In the eighteenth century, most people answer no to both questions. But in the century that follows, that certainty gets challenged as some people in Europe question the common belief that all creatures are the same as theyve been since lifes creation. The Evolution of an Idea, the second volume of Discovering Lifes Story, opens with the Swedish naturalist Carl Linnaeus, who attempts to create an organizing system for the myriad forms of life on earth. It continues into the late 1800s, when two EnglishmenCharles Darwin and Alfred Russel Wallaceeach develop their own version of a startling new theory of how life-forms change over time. This evolutionary idea will alter the understanding of our place in the great web of life on earth. In this remarkable volume, author Joy Hakim continues charting the path of human discovery and shows how groundbreaking thinkers began to unlock the biological secrets of our own existence.
