The author, a natural historian describes natural behaviour as observed in the wild and reflects on fundamental questions about the origin and nature of life. He observed that patterns of instinct and behaviour in animals were not consistent with accepted physical laws and that creation reflected a higher level of reality. In this key work, Grant Wilson synthesized a lifetime of journeying, investigation and thought. Arguing always from his observations, he threw down a challenge to conventional Darwinian theory, raising profound and unanswered questions which have still to be properly addressed in modern scientific debate.
