Description
"One of the ten most significant books" - Sigmund Freud
No book made a greater impact on the intellectual world of its first Victorian readers, nor has had such an enduring influence on our thinking on science, literature, theology, and philosophy.
In The Descent of Man, Darwin addresses the crucial question of the origins, evolution, and racial divergence of mankind, which he had deliberately left out of On the Origin of Species. The evidence he presents forces us to question what it is that makes us uniquely human.
