"The Alpina non-fiction publishing house, edited by V.S. Artamonova, a leading researcher at the A.N. Severtsov Institute of Ecology and Evolution of the Russian Academy of Sciences, has published a book by Doctor of Biological Sciences M.V. Vinarsky, "Dead Lion: A Posthumous Biography of Darwin and His Ideas."
This book is an intellectual journey through time that began with the death of Charles Darwin in April 1882 and continues to the present day, the era of the Internet and neural networks. The reader will learn why Darwin, even now, 140 years after his death, remains the most discussed, most cited, and most... hated scientist of all time and people.
The book will tell how the perception of Darwin's personality and his ideas changed over time, how they were distorted, used, and reinterpreted by descendants for their own purposes (not always selfless). The discussion will also focus on the creation of the theory of natural selection, how it managed to survive and survive to this day despite fierce attacks, remaining the most famous and popular evolutionary theory.
