Darwin's Brave New World (Episode 1) Origins

"Evolution was damned as being anti-God and anti-science, because it's creation by natural law, not acts of God."

The theory of evolution by natural selection was the most radical idea in the conservative England of the 19th century. Darwin spent years working in secret, painstakingly piecing together proof of his theory about the evolution of life on Earth, a theory that revealed the beauty and cruelty of nature. Darwin knew the power of his work, a work which generated the fiercest debate about the creation which continues to this day.

These new series tell the astonishing and amazing story of this great mind, and the struggle between dogma and reason, featuring acclaimed scientists such as Richard Dawkins, and David Suzuki.

Darwin's Brave New World (Episode 2) Evolutions

Charles Darwin is facing one of his biggest crisises, Anne, his ten year old daughter is fighting against the mysterious illness. As Annie's life hangs in the balance it's a brutal reminder of everything Darwin has learned in years of search. Nature, not God, determines who survives.

Darwin finds the crucial evidence he desperately needs to prove how evolution and natural selection work in the middle of 19th century.

But first he must test himself and his arguments with his friends and supporters. His race to publish one of the most extraordinary theories of our time just begins.

Darwin's Brave New World (Episode 3) Publish and Be Damned

The arrival of Alfred Russel Wallace's letter in June 1858 has thrown Charles Darwin into panic. This letter threatens to destroy years of work which began on five year voyage in southern hemisphere. Darwin spends the next 20 years painstakingly gathering evidence. He battles illness and the cruel reality of his own theory. But on the other side of the world Alfred Wallace has come up with the almost identical theory. Now Darwin will need the help of his loyal supporters more than ever.

The book which Charles Darwin never meant to write is about to be judged by the outside world.

The Making of the Fittest: DNA and the Ultimate Forensic Record of Evolution - Sean B. Carroll (Audiobook)

Picking up where scientists like Richard Dawkins have left off, Carroll, a professor of genetics at the University of Wisconsin–Madison (Endless Forms Most Beautiful: The New Science of Evo-Devo), has written a fast-paced look at how DNA demonstrates the evolutionary process. Natural selection eliminates harmful changes and embraces beneficial ones, and each change leaves its signature on a species' DNA codes. While searches for the genetic basis for evolution are hardly new, Carroll offers some provocative and convincing evidence. Publishers Weekly

Why Sex MatteDarwinian Look at Human Behavior - Bobbi S. Low

Sex differences, Low says, are central to our lives. Are they genetically programmed or the result of social traditions? "New research ... supports the perhaps unsettling view that men and women have indeed evolved to behave differently." The differences arise from "the fundamental principle of evolutionary biology, that all living organisms have evolved to seek and use resources to enhance their reproductive success." Low, a professor of resource ecology at the University of Michigan, develops her argument through examinations of genetics, primate societies, and human behavior past and present. Then she asks a haunting question. Have we, simply by doing well what we have evolved to do, "changed the rules so that now it may even be detrimental to 'strive' to our utmost abilities?" It seems likely, she says, "that we will face new problems as growing, and increasingly consumptive, human populations interact with environmental ... stability." Scientific American

Darwin Loves You: Natural Selection and the Re-enchantment of the World - George Levine

"Levine again and again shows how evolutionary science can allow one to view the world with awe and reverence." Robert Pennock, American Scientist

Although the bumper-sticker title seems glib, Levine's book is most assuredly not. It will be a difficult read for nonphilosophers, even though Levine, professor emeritus of English at Rutgers, raises noteworthy points. His main premise is that a close reading of Darwin disproves Max Weber's contention that a "rational scientific" outlook "expels meaning and value from the world." Levine argues persuasively that an understanding of Darwinism can lead to a secular enchantment of the sort experienced by Darwin himself as he worked to make sense of the world around him: "an attitude of awe and love toward the multiple forms of life" in all their extraordinary diversity. Enchantment of this type, Levine explains, is no less important or meaningful than enchantment arising from religion. Levine also offers a textual analysis of Darwin to demonstrate that much writing that claims to derive from Darwin, especially within the realm of politics, does not necessarily follow from his original intent. With polemicists from all portions of the political spectrum attempting to use Darwin to their own advantage, Levine offers a fair warning to readers to be wary of the political extrapolation, because scientific theories themselves have no political content.Publishers Weekly
