A useful book, for it deals with a unique subject, how there are firstly myths surrounding Darwinism, and then also misuses of Darwinism. It is not coming from a particularly creationist agenda, probably it is more evolutionary in its sympathies. But it is honest about problems surrounding Darwinism and some myths which have surrounded debate. A good book for anyone seeking to read a little more widely on the whole Darwinian debate, and 'step outside the ring' so to speak - and view it from the outside. I remain a non-evolutionist... and creationist. The book is helpful. ( ) keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
In Darwinian Myths, Edward Caudill examines the ability of Darwin's theory to inspire legends, focusing particularly on the impact of social Darwinism on popular culture. This compelling testimony to the power of myth shows the ways in which, over the years, Darwin's ideas - twisted, truncated, and misapplied - have been appropriated by individuals, governments, and cultural elites to lend credibility to xenophobic, racist, and imperialist political movements and policies. Caudill uses newspaper and magazine accounts and correspondence to trace the myth-making and promotional efforts of Darwin himself, as well as the transformation of his empirically based theory into the philosophy of social Darwinism.
