Summary

Charles Darwin's "On the Origin of Species" is the most important and yet least read scientific work in the history of science. Now James T. Costa--experienced field biologist, theorist on the evolution of insect sociality, and passionate advocate for teaching Darwin, with Darwin in a society where a significant proportion of adults believe that life on earth has been created in its present form within the last 10,000 years--has given a new voice to this epochal work. By leading readers line by line through the "Origin", Costa brings evolution's foundational text to life for a new generation
