Book Reviews of The Descent of Man

Book Review: the Ascent of Man
Summary: 5 Stars

This book is still very relevant today. Darwin may have gotten many minor things wrong but his main points are
right on. Darwin was truly a scientific man. He was never afraid to alter his theory if a fact did not fit. While Wallace later became involved in spiritualism, Darwin remained true to science.
