Pioneers of Evolution

PIONEERS OF EVOLUTION FROM THALES TO HUXLEY, by EDWARD CLODD. As the Title indicates, this is a collection of short Biographies of the leading scholars in the history of evolution. It also gives a history of early speculation on the evolutionary development of life from 600 BCE to 50 CE. And the total arrest of scientific development from CE 50 to 1600 under Christian domination, and the renascence of science as Christianity lost much of its power to retard progress.
