In this analysis of Darwin's major insights and arguments, Jonathan Howard reasserts the importance of darwin's work for the development of modern biology. `Jonathan Howard has produced an intellectual tour de force , a classic in the genre of popular scientific exposition which will still be read in fifty year's time.' Times Literary Supplement. This book is intended for a-level and degree students of biology, zoology, and animal science.

Jonathan Howard is Professor of Cell Genetics at the University of Cologne.
