For the last week or so, my bathrrom reading has been "Ever Since Darwin" by Steven Jay Gould. It's a collection of short essays on how people THOUGHT about evolution and the various arguments and tangents they went on.

It is an education in exactly how 'great thinkers' managed to do great injustices to Darwin, their own ideas and each others.

It's now 40 years old, but the ideas and explanations could serve in any age.
