Full description for The Descent of Man

• 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, that he had deliberately left out of "On the Origin of Species". And the evidence he presents forces us to question what it is that makes us uniquely human.
