A Theory Teeming with Life!
The World Before Darwin: A Dangerous Place to Think! In 1619, Giulio Cesare Vanini was burned at the stake simply for daring to suggest that humans might be related to apes. Fast forward to 1859, and Charles Darwin’s On the Origin of Species shattered the scientific world forever, proving once and for all that life isn’t frozen: it evolves.
But Darwin didn’t do it alone. Step aboard the HMS Beagle and journey through the wild history of evolutionary science! Long before “natural selection” became a household phrase, brilliant and daring minds were paving the way. From Carl Linnaeus rigorously cataloging ten thousand species, to Buffon, Cuvier, and Lamarck battling it out over catastrophism and acquired traits. These are the scientific adventurers who changed how we see the living world.
While other graphic novels focus solely on Darwin, this book tells the whole untamed story!
Inside, you’ll find:
- The Big Picture: (Re)discover the theory of evolution, from Darwin’s brave precursors to his modern heirs.
- Myth-Busting: The authors tear down the biggest misconceptions and clichés about evolution.
- Wild & Hilarious: A lighthearted, funny narrative packed with the same zany illustrations fans loved in Egyptologix.
- Smart Science: Handy timelines and clear diagrams to make the science easy to grasp.
READERSHIP: All those interested in the theory of evolution, kids aged 13 plus.
