"Truths and Untruths of Evolution" (1884) delves into the complex and often contentious topic of evolution during the late 19th century. Written by John Benjamin Drury, this work examines the scientific, philosophical, and religious implications of evolutionary theory, particularly as it relates to Darwinism and natural selection.
Drury critically assesses both the strengths and weaknesses of evolutionary arguments prevalent at the time, engaging with the debates surrounding the origin of species and the relationship between science and religious belief. This book provides a valuable historical perspective on the early reception and interpretation of evolutionary ideas, offering readers insights into the intellectual landscape of the era. It remains relevant for those interested in the history of science, the evolution-religion dialogue, and the development of evolutionary thought.
