Progress in genetics today would not have been possible without Darwin's revolution, but the mysterious man who undermined belief in God's creation was remarkably timid. He spent most of his life in seclusion, a semi-invalid, riddled with doubts, fearing the controversy his theories might unleash. In this classic bestseller, Jonathan Miller unravels Darwin's life and his contribution to biology in a brilliantly lucid manner, and traces the path from his scientific predecessors to the later modifications that his own evolutionary theories required.
