This View of Life: Completing the Darwinian Revolution | David Sloan Wilson
It is widely understood that Charles Darwin�s theory of evolution completely revolutionized the study of biology. Yet, according to David Sloan Wilson, the Darwinian revolution won�t be truly complete until it is applied more broadly�to everything associated with the words �human,� �culture,� and �policy.� In a series of engaging and insightful examples�from the breeding of hens to the timing of cataract surgeries to the organization of an automobile plant�Wilson shows how an evolutionary worldview provides a practical tool kit for understanding not only genetic evolution but also the fast-paced changes that are having an impact on our world and ourselves. What emerges is an incredibly empowering argument: If we can become wise managers of evolutionary processes, we can solve the problems of our age at all scales�from the efficacy of our groups to our well-being as individuals to our stewardship of the planet Earth.
