The Evolution Collection | AXIS Index

Evolution is one of the few scientific ideas that changed not only biology, but how we see ourselves. It is in the news, in medicine, in debates about faith and society, and in everyday phrases like "survival of the fittest" or "it's in our DNA". This collection tells how humanity discovered that life has a history, through the people, scenes and debates behind it.

Volume I · The Discovery of Deep Time From Linnaeus and Mary Anning to the voyage of the Beagle, Darwin, Wallace and the publication of On the Origin of Species.

Volume II · The Tree of Life Mendel's peas, the double helix, four billion years of life, Lucy, the Neanderthals and the African origin of our species.

Volume III · The Unfinished Story The misuse of Darwin, evolution and faith, cooperation, superbugs, evolution we can watch, CRISPR and the debate on a sixth extinction.
