Galatea, or the Future of Darwinism

W Russell Brain

Originally published in 1927

A brilliant exposition…of the evolutionary hypothesis. The Guardian

Should prove invaluable… Literary Guide

This non-technical but closely-reasoned book is a challenge to the orthodox teaching on evolution known as Neo-Darwinism. The author claims that although Neo-Darwinian theories can possibly account for the evolution of forms, they are quite inadequate to explain the evolution of functions.
