One Long Argument: Charles Darwin and the Genesis of Modern Evolutionary Thought by Ernst Mayr
5.0
"One Long Argument" presents the history of Darwinism with brilliancy and conciseness.
It offers a compelling portrayal of Darwin, as a one-of-a-kind genius whose differences in mindset from other scientists and philosophers have engendered decades-long misunderstandings.
It also explains the tenets of Darwinian evolutionary thought with both clarity and philosophical nuance, without ever getting lost in the biological detail.
Lastly, it records the development of "Darwinism" in evolutionary biology with enlightening sociological considerations.
I would never say it is one of my favourite books - I also can't find anything wrong with it.
Enthusiastically recommended to anyone tangentially interested in the topic of evolution.
