Darwin’s Armada: How Four Voyages to Australasia won the Battle for Evolution and Changed the World

Author: Iain McCalman
Publisher: Penguin Group


From Baird Maritime:

A brilliant book that brings together and connects the four fathers of the study of evolution that finally overturned the prevailing creationism and radically changed the world.

The author shows the valuable contributions of Charles Darwin and his colleagues, followers and supporters Joseph Hooker, Thomas Huxley and Alfred Wallace. He shows how they achieved so much over the 35 years from 1831.

Against the background of the booming industrial revolution and the flowering of the British Empire, these products of the Enlightenment very effectively enlightened the world.

A wonderful story very well told.
