Set against the backdrop of the 1860 Oxford meeting of the Association for the Advancement of Science, this book explores the intense debates sparked by Darwin's revolutionary ideas on evolution. The discussions not only challenged scientific beliefs but also questioned social authority in a rapidly changing society. By examining these historical exchanges, the book reveals their lasting impact on the ongoing conflict between science and religion, making it a relevant commentary on contemporary cultural conflicts.
