A new book presents contrasting ideas about Charles Darwin’s theories and work.
More than 150 years after Charles Darwin published "On the Origin of Species," the man and his theories continue to generate controversy and debate. Even scholars steeped in the great scientist's work can't seem to agree on some aspects of Darwin's landmark conclusions and the influences that led to his findings. That academic battle plays out in a new book titled "Debating Darwin."
