The political gene: how Darwin's ideas changed politics

Trama

This narrative is a fascinating examination of the way that many scientists and politicians have sought to use Charles Darwin’s ideas to solve social problems or to bolster political ideologies. Darwin not only sparked a revolution in science, but also radically changed the way millions of people thought about themselves, their societies, and their values.
