The Story of Evolution: From Idea to Theory
[OLE2883]

Mary Montague, BSc, PGCE, MSc, PhD 

Autumn 2024 

10 weekly sessions on Mondays 7.00 pm to 9.00 pm, starting 30 September 

The story of evolution is one of Western culture’s greatest narratives, unifying that most diverse of natural sciences, biology.  Drawing on the history and philosophy of science, and the discoveries of scientific research, this course explores the development of evolutionary theory from Ancient Greece through the Enlightenment to Darwin’s inspired intellectual leap that illuminated the origin of species.  These intellectual developments not only led to the twentieth century’s Neo-Darwinian synthesis, but have also made a vital contribution to the philosophy of science, as well as our view of humanity's place in a changing world.
