courtneyfalling's review
I was assigned to read the bulk of On the Origin of Species and various essays later in the anthology for a Science and Politics class, but because I didn't read the entire anthology and ultimately do not plan to, I'm marking it as DNF.
There's definitely no shortage of scientific, social, and ethical issues to discuss when it comes to Darwin's work and legacy. Especially in regard to the debate between evolutionism and creationism and the horrible effects of Social Darwinism, Darwin's writing itself and the commentary included here offers a lot to think about, discuss in classes, and incorporate into politics and future actions.
