Mystery of Mysteries: Is Evolution a Social Construction? New edition
Michael Ruse
Beginning with Erasmus Darwin (grandfather of Charles) and ending with the work of the English game theorist Geoffrey Parker and the American paleontologist Jack Sepkoski, Ruse explicates the role of metaphor and metavalues in evolutionary thought and draws significant conclusions about the cultural impregnation of science.
