Description: Authoritative and abundantly illustrated, this book illuminates the ways in which ideas of evolutionary biology have leapt the boundaries of science to influence philosophy, law, religion, literature, cinema, art, and popular culture. Darwin's Universe, a thoroughly revised and updated successor to Richard Milner's acclaimed Encyclopedia of Evolution, contains more than a hundred new essays, including entries on animal behavior (Alex the parrot, Kanzi the bonobo, Digit the gorilla), on women in science (Mary Anning, Rosalind Franklin), and on the latest finds of human fossils.
Notes: "The present book, Darwin's Universe, has evolved from two ancestral forms titled The Encyclopedia of Evolution, published in 1990 and 1993. It has been updated, revised, and enhanced with many new essays and illustrations"--T.p. verso.
