Celebrating the fascinating study of evolution, the scientists who were instrumental in its spread, and emphasizing its central importance for the study of science, the essays of this reference introduce the subject to students at the high school and undergraduate level. Individual essays describe the work of Charles Darwin, T.H. Huxley, and Gregor Mendel; the expression "survival of the fittest"; the 'icons' of human evolution--Neanderthal, Java, and Peking Man; evolution of the peppered moth and the horse; and the history of dinosaurs. Two essays directly address the motivation behind those who are against the teaching of evolution in the U.S., with discussion of the Scopes Trial and intelligent design. Regal teaches history of science at Kean U., New Jersey. The contributors teach social anthropology, biology, geology and the history of science in the U.S. and Europe.
