The exploration of how scientists study unobservable phenomena in fields like paleobiology and geology raises critical questions about the nature of scientific discovery versus creation. Derek Turner delves into the implications of this dilemma for the scientific realism debate, engaging with key philosophical positions such as realism, social constructivism, and empiricism. His insightful analysis connects these theories to practical issues in the study of prehistory, making the book relevant for both philosophers and scientists interested in the foundations of scientific inquiry.
