A History of Controversy

Charles Darwin's theory of evolution is perhaps the most significant and the most controversial idea of modern times. Professor Edward J. Larson leads you through the "evolution" of evolution, with an eye toward enhancing your understanding of the development of the theory itself and the roots of the controversies that surround it. In these lectures you will: explore pre-Darwinian theories of the origins of life, from Genesis and the ancient Greeks to such 18th- and 19th-century scientists as Georges Cuvier and Chevalier de Lamarck follow the life and work of Charles Darwin, and the impact of his 1859 masterpiece, On the Origin of Species. Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection was immediately recognized as a threat to traditional religion, but was quickly accepted (the first printing of Origin of Species sold out on the first day) examine the history of evolutionary science after Darwin-a fascinating story that includes the "re-discovery," after 35 years, of Gregor Mendel's work on genetic variation; the unearthing of pre-hominid, or early human, fossils by Raymond Dart in 1925 and the Leakey family in the 1950s; and the confusion created by the sensational, but later discredited, discovery of "Piltdown Man"-a fake evolutionary "missing link"-in 1912 trace the history of religious objections to evolution, from those of Darwin's own time to contemporary efforts to teach creation science in American schools. This includes a detailed discussion of the famous Scopes "monkey trial," which in fact was a staged media event, designed to create publicity for the town of Dayton, Tennessee.

The Great Courses Philosophy & Intellectual History

Was the greatest book on U.S. democracy ever written actually crafted by a Frenchman visiting this country some 175 years ago? Why would such a book be relevant in today's ever-changing political landscape? Professor William R. Cook leads a 24-lecture, spirited exploration of Alexis de Tocqueville and his unique observations of this young nation that resulted in Democracy in America, hailed as both the best book ever written about democracy and the best book ever written about America. Published in two sections in 1835 and 1840, it reveals in its 700 pages insights about democracy and the American character that have led both liberals and conservatives alike to claim Tocqueville as their own.
