The History of Creation, Vol. 1 (of 2)
Ernst Haeckel and E. Ray (Edwin Ray), Sir Lankester
Ernst Haeckel set out to trace every living thing back to a common thread. This first volume lays the foundation of descent theory, weighing Cuvier and Agassiz against the bold new doctrine of evolution. Provocative, sweeping, and unafraid of the biggest questions in nineteenth-century biology. The opening half of a landmark argument for the history of creation as science. Follow the filiation.
Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
