The result is unfailingly interesting.
Ruse presents much to argue with, both for aficionados of evolution and for theorists of science.
Of significant heuristic value in the debate of the Western predeliction for the concept of progress as it applies to evolutionary theory. Sensitive to concerns of many non-scientists for the science of evolutionary biology. Extensive literature cited section. Very detailed and interesting accounts of the many people who have contributed to science of evolutionary biology. But it adds immeasurably to the literary value of the book.
