Book synopsis

This is a biography written in the mode of Abraham Pais biography of Einstein: Subtle is the Lord . The Science and Life of Albert Einstein. There is one major difference. Whereas the science in Pais s text was relegated to esoteric small print segments, the authors highlight evolutionary biology as it is at a stage where it can be made intelligible to the educated reader. §William Bateson brought the work of Mendel (and much more) to the attention of the English-speaking world. He commanded the biological sciences in the decades after Darwin's death in 1882. He gave twentieth century figures such as J.B.S. Haldane and C.D. Darlington a start in science, and was critical of the emergent Eugenics.§We provide an understanding of Bateson as well as a reconciliation of diverging views (e.g. the hierarchical thinking of Gould and the genocentrism of George Williams and Richard Dawkins). Evolutionists may thus, at long last, present a unified front to their creationist opponents.
