Steven Jay Gould: Darwin's Revolution in Thought

http://classroommedia.com/sg1.html Using evolutionary biology, history of science, and social history as his canvas, Gould paints the fascinating picture of how human biases (philosophical, cultural, and spiritual) have continued to resist Darwin's theory, inverting it into its own philosophical opposite. "If there's one thing we desperately want evolution to be, it's a principle that predicts progress...but it just isn't so."-- Stephen Jay Gould
