SummaryTable of ContentsAuthor Biography

Richard Dawkins' brand of evolutionary theory dominates our understanding of Darwinism. His rhetoric has sidelined serious scientists who just happen to disagree with him. A staunch pro-scientist and scholar of Darwinian evolution, Fern Elsdon-Baker explores the historical, philosophical, and scientific arguments that are revealing the cracks in Dawkins' thinking.

Fern Elsdon-Baker argues that Dawkins' way of seeing evolution - or indeed the world - is far from the only one possible and that his popular image as the guardian of Darwinism in fact does it a disservice.
