Is the Darwinian account of human origins beyond dispute? Or is there more to the question of origins, as GK Chesterton declares, “Man is not merely an evolution but a revolution.” Written by three scientists, this book looks at the short comings of Darwin’s theory of evolution and explores the question of “What does it mean to be human?” The book is carefully researched and overall does a good job of explaining the research in a way that lay people can understand. Black and white illustrations, and copious end notes are included. Recommended (not required) supplement for Discovering Design with Chemistry. ~Deanne

Description
Publisher's Description of Science & Human Origins
Science & Human Origins, the provocative new book from Discovery Institute Press, boldly addresses some of the most popular evolutionary arguments pertaining to controversial claims that humans and apes are related through common ancestry.
In Science & Human Origins three scientists challenge the claim that undirected natural selection is capable of building a human being. The authors critically assess fossil and genetic evidence that human beings share a common ancestor with apes, and debunk recent claims that the human race could not have started from an original couple.
