More copies of this ISBN:Stephen Jay Gould and the Politics of Evolutionby David F Prindle
Synopses & ReviewsBook News Annotation:Prindle (government, U. of Texas at Austin) investigates the link
between the politics of Harvard paleontologist Stephen Jay Gould and
his scientific work and discovers themes that suggest the evolution
of man is due to chance rather than a pathway to natural adaptation.
Written for scholars of scientific and philosophical disciplines,
this volume explores Gould's thoughts on punctuated equilibrium,
human equality and intelligence testing, "spandrels" and "exaptation"
and the debate between science and fundamentalist Christianity. The
author also questions whether Gould slyly offered a new theory of
evolution that was slowly revealed throughout the bulk of his work.
Annotation ©2009 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com) Synopsis:While many people have written about Gould's science, pro and con, and a few have written about his politics, this is the first book to explore his science and politics as a consistent whole.
