1 About this book
Ever Since Darwin is a 1977 popular science book by the paleontologist Stephen Jay Gould. It collected 33 of his essays, all of which had appeared in his monthly column, "This View of Life", in Natural History magazine.
The essays cover a wide range of topics including the career of Charles Darwin, his theory of natural selection, its various misinterpretations over the prior century, and some observations on science itself. Ever Since Darwin became a best seller and propelled Gould to national prominence. It was the first of ten essay collections by him to be published over the next 25 years.
