Charles Darwin's On the Origin of Species, published over 150 years ago, is considered one of history's most influential books and continues to serve as the foundation of thought for evolutionary biology. Since Darwin's time, however, new fields of science have emerged that simply give us better answers to the question of origins. With a Ph.D. in cell and developmental biology from Harvard University, Dr. Nathaniel Jeanson is uniquely qualified to investigate what genetics reveal about origins. If the science surrounding origins were a puzzle, Darwin would have had fewer than 15% of the pieces to work with when he developed his theory of evolution. We now have a much greater percentage of the pieces because of modern scientific research. As Dr. Jeanson puts the new pieces together, a whole new picture emerges, giving us a testable, predictive model to explain the origin of species. Darwin's theory of evolution may be one of science's longest standing, but the latest genetics research is casting doubt on it. After continual and necessary review, will these new discoveries be added to our scientific body of knowledge or will Darwin's theory never be critically reexamined? Replacing Darwin asks you to give serious consideration to ..... (speciation etc. ) and to propose examined solutions to the problems that have surfaced in Darwin's theory of evolution.--Book description, Amazon.com.
