THE HISTORY OF EVOLUTIONARY THOUGHT

Home → The History of Evolutionary Thought


THE HISTORY OF EVOLUTIONARY THOUGHT

Just as life has a history, science has a history. Understanding the history of
evolutionary thinking illuminates the nature of science.

In this section, you will see how study in four disciplinary areas — Earth’s
history, life’s history, mechanisms of evolution, and development and genetics —
has contributed to our current understanding of evolution.
