Summary
Darwin was no rebel. Every item in his theory of evolution was drawn from his culture or society. However, Darwin reordered the elements, like a kaleidoscope, to produce a truly revolutionary vision of the world – in science, in philosophy, in religion, and in literature, with major implications for our thinking about social issues.
