Darwin's Dangerous Idea (Daniel Dennett) - review (1963 words)
The key elements of Darwin's "dangerous idea" are a denial of essentialism and an understanding of natural selection as a substrate neutral, algorithmic process, applicable to an extremely wide range of phenomena and capable of achieving immense feats by slow accumulation over large extents of time and space.
Darwin's original application of natural selection was, of course, to the origin of species.
Darwin himself carefully restricted the domain to which he was prepared to apply his theory, but Dennett argues that continuing to do so (at the behest of religion or otherwise) is no longer a tenable position to take.
Darwin (Adrian Desmond, James Moore) - book review (515 words)
Darwin is an enthralling and inspiring account of a man who is interesting in his own right, not just because of the key position his work has in the history of the biological sciences.
So no mention is made of the tower of the modern biological sciences that rests on the foundations Darwin laid, and we are not told which of his theories are correct and which incorrect.
It then follows Darwin through the excitement of the Beagle voyage, the laborious cataloging that followed, and the gradual growth of his radical ideas on species.
