The Ascent of Man. The Ascent of Man: The Ladder of Creation. Jacob Bronowski focuses on the theory of evolution by natural selection, which he describes as "the most important single scientific innovation in the 19th century." Until the 19th century it was believed that many creatures were created spontaneously, like bluebottles in old meat. 2. Suppose someone has doubts as to the ability of a simplistic two-step mechanism, viz., random mutation followed by natural selection, to produce the entire plant and animal kingdom, starting with only one hypothetical living cell, which has yet to be described in even the most crude manner.
And that series of inventions, by which man from age to age has remade his environment, is a different kind of evolution—not biological, but cultural evolution. I call that brilliant sequence of cultural peaks The Ascent of Man. I use the word ascent with a precise meaning. Man is distinguished from other animals by his imaginative gifts. Natural selection, process in which an organism adapts to its environment through selectively reproducing changes in its genotype. It reduces the disorganizing effects of migration, mutation, and genetic drift by multiplying the incidence of helpful mutations, since harmful mutation carriers leave few .

Gregory, contrib. In his own words, his speculations about human evolution “had pictured Adam as being, physically, the son of two anthropoids, on whom, after birth, God worked the miracle which made him Man.” 60 In Lewis’s view, Darwinian evolution might possibly explain man’s physical form; but it could not explain man’s mind, his morality, or his.

The Descent of Man, and Selection in Relation to Sex is a book by English naturalist Charles Darwin, first published inwhich applies evolutionary theory to human evolution, and details his theory of sexual selection, a form of biological adaptation distinct from, yet interconnected with, natural book discusses many related issues, including evolutionary psychology Cited by: InCharles Darwin published his On the Origin of Species.
In this ground breaking book, Darwin explained how species originate via the principle of natural selection. Each organism differs from the other members of the population, and lives in a continuously changing environment/5.

In it he demonstrated that evolution was an automatic process excluding all divine agencies, and that man had evolved by natural processes. Darwin's book created a sensation and set off a storm of s: The book is a softback, so much cheaper to replace than a hardback since he treats his books poorly.

Charles Darwin, the father of evolution, was the first to publish the idea of natural l selection is the mechanism for how evolution occurs over time.
Basically, natural selection says that individuals within a population of a species that have favorable adaptations for their environment will live long enough to reproduce and pass down those desirable traits to their offspring. Originally published inThe Ascent of Man sought to correct what Drummond felt was an oversight in the evolutionary biology research being done in his day.
Most scientists, he says, accept without question that the struggle for life is the force of evolution. What they overlook is what he calls the struggle for the life of others, or the struggle for reproduction.
