With his publication of On the Origin of Species , Darwin forever changed our concept of the world. While Johnson praises Darwin’s extraordinary skills as a natural scientist and his monumental achievements, he does not sidestep Darwin’s tragic failures as an anthropologist.

Lay readers and academics alike will enjoy this concise and unflinching exploration of Charles Darwin, a genius whose discoverieseven the flawed onesadd significant dimension to our understanding of his mind, the era in which he lived, and his everlasting impact on our world.
