Anthropology and

Gould, Steven Jay. The Structure of Evolutionary Theory. Cambridge: Harvard University Press, 2002.
Dr. Leonard chose this book because:
“The term ‘evolution’ is the most controversial word that I discuss in my lectures. I have received student evaluations that claim, ‘all you ever talk about is evolution’, even though I may never bring up the term in the context of biological evolution during the course. It is clear that many students oppose the concept of evolution, though they may not actually know that much about it. This book is Steven Jay Gould’s last and most complete book about evolution as fact and theory.”
