Features: This masterpiece of scientific essays, written by a scientist, collects the scientific musings of Gould published in the Natural History magazine. The author teaches biology at Harvard University, being an insider in science with the perspective of a historian. He poses a question: Why did Darwin delay the publication of the theory of evolution by 20 years after establishing it? Gould explains that this was because he was fully aware that the implications of the theory of evolution were more revolutionary than what the general public perceived.
