Description
Evolution is widely accepted by scientists but about half of the US population is skeptical. this course will review the argument about evolution from a historical perspective. The course is organized around a series of questions: Do species change? Do they split in two? Has there been enough time? And so on. For each question, students begin with a historical reading and progress to modern works. Material on both sides of the argument included.
