Sourcebook on HISTORY OF EVOLUTION is a collection of documents relating to the history of evolutionary biology, social Darwinism, eugenics, and the evolution/creationism controversy.  The materials in this volume are primary source documents, works written by the historical figures, and are intended to help students understand some of the issues, problems and methods authors have used in exploring the scientific study and the social influences of evolutionary thought.

Sourcebook on HISTORY OF EVOLUTION will help students begin to bridge the gap between themselves and the historical subjects in order to make both the subjects' worlds and their own world a little more clear to them.
