This View of Life: Completing the Darwinian Revolution

This View of Life: Completing the Darwinian Revolution

It is widely understood that Charles Darwinâ€™s theory of evolution completely revolutionized the study of biology. Yet, according to David Sloan Wilson, the Darwinian revolution wonâ€™t be truly complete until it is applied more broadlyâ€”to everything associated with the words â€œhuman,â€ â€œculture,â€ and â€œpolicy.â€

In a series of engaging and insightful examplesâ€”from the breeding of hens to the timing of cataract surgeries to the organization of an automobile plantâ€”Wilson shows how an evolutionary worldview provides a practical tool kit for understanding not only genetic evolution but also the fast-paced changes that are having an impact on our world and ourselves. What emerges is an incredibly empowering argument: If we can become wise managers of evolutionary processes, we can solve the problems of our age at all scalesâ€”from the efficacy of our groups to our well-being as individuals to our stewardship of the planet Earth.
