Review
'I recommend this fascinating and well-written book, which will be enjoyed by anyone with an interest in the natural world.' B. J. Hatchwell, IBIS
'Young's The Discovery of Evolution leads the reader into the deep history of evolutionary ideas, from the 17th century through Darwinism, tracking the contributions of geology, natural history, classification, and genetics along the way. It provides students with a rich background to appreciate contemporary biological ideas and disputes in an accessible and beautifully illustrated book.' Sandra D. Mitchell, Professor and Chair Department of History and Philosophy of Science, University of Pittsburgh
'... well written ...' Mammalia
