The Triumph of Evolution: and the Failure of Creationism. Dieser Artikel ist nicht verfügbar.The Triumph of Evolution: and the Failure of Creationism

Why is there so much anti-evolution sentiment at the start of the Third Millennium? Why does the debate that began in 1859, when Charles Darwin established the study of evolution, still rage in 2000? In this text, Niles Eldredge presents an examination of the creation-evolution confrontation. He reveals the creationists basic argument and their strategies for advancing it, and counters charges that the study of evolution cannot be scientific and that is leads to the demise of the family, religion and traditional values.

Niles Eldredge is Curator in the department of Invertebrate Paleontology at the American Museum of Natural History, where he has worked as an active research paleontologist since 1969. He is the author of 19 books and more than 160 research papers, most notably several with Stephen Jay Gould announcing the theory of punctuated equilibria. Eldredge lectures regularly on aspects of evolutionary theory and biodiversity issues.
