This rhetorical study of the various language strategies and competing world views involved in the 140-year argument between Biblical creationists and Darwinian evolutionists focuses on the 1860 Huxley/Wilberforce debate, the 1925 Scopes "Monkey" Trial, and the 1981 Arkansas Creation-Science Trial.

In the resurgence of interest in the biological basis of animal behavior and social organization, the ideas and questions pursued by Charles Darwin remain insightful. This title describes that human mental and emotional capacities, far from making human beings unique, are evidence of an animal origin and evolutionary development.

How is it that an egg turns into an elaborate adult How is it that a bacterium, given many millions of years, could have evolved into an elephant The author argues that we can understand this progression in terms of natural selection, but that in order to do so we must consider the role of development in evolutionary change.

Does modern science prove the order of creation as described in the Bible to be true Andrew Parker argues that the Genesis account precisely reflects the order of events as we now understand them. By comparing the data of science with the words and phrases of Genesis 1-11, the remarkable parallels become clear.

From Alfred Russel Wallace, the Englishman who beat Darwin to the theory of natural selection but later renounced it, and through the controversial work of modern-day anthropologist Daniel Everett, who defies the current wisdom that language is hard-wired in humans, this author examines zig-zags of Darwinism, old and Neo, and and more.

As the study of cooperative breeding systems expands, a number of key species form the examples that underpin our general understanding. The ostrich is increasingly becoming such a textbook species, on the basis of the results obtained in Brian Bertram's study of vigilance and egg discrimination in this extraordinary bird. Here Bertram presents new

Scientists have recently begun to question one of the pillars of modern thought--Charles Darwin's theory of evolution. Certainly evolution occurs; but if it is a slow, continuous process by which one species gradually modifies itself into a new one, as Darwin believed, why are there so many missing links in the fossil records Two eminent scientist

Offers a historical reconstruction of the evolutionary synthesis of the 1930s and 1940s.
