    Galatea, or the Future of Darwinism

    W Russell Brain

    Originally published in 1927

    "A brilliant exposition…of the evolutionary hypothesis." The Guardian

    "Should prove invaluable…" Literary Guide

    This non-technical but closely-reasoned book is a challenge to the orthodox teaching on evolution known as Neo-Darwinism. The author claims that although Neo-Darwinian theories can possibly account for the evolution of forms, they are quite inadequate to explain the evolution of functions.
