"Philosophical essays are frequently enlightening but rarely entertaining. Elliott Sober's Did Darwin Write the 'Origin' Backwards? succeeds at being philosophically sophisticated, historically informative, and thoroughly enjoyable. Even readers who think they know their Darwin will learn much from this book." --Ronald L. Numbers, Hilldale Professor of the History of Science and Medicine, University of Wisconsin-Madison

a truly thought-provoking work." --Douglas J. Futuyma, Distinguished Professor, Department of Ecology and Evolution, Stony Brook University

raised the level of discussion on the argumentation structure of Darwin's Origin of the Species, Darwin and group selection, sex-ratio theory from the 1700s to today, and on Darwin and naturalism." --Jonathan Hodge,Visiting Fellow, Centre for History and Philosophy of Science , University of Leeds

Origin of Species, he privileged the discussion of selection. Accessible, lively, controversial, this is a book full of good things, including a fresh look at Darwin's position on group selection. I particularly welcome the balanced writing on scientific naturalism and religion. Demonstrating the superiority of evolutionary theory over creationism, Sober also maintains that neither methodological naturalism nor the theory of evolution entails that divine intervention could not occur." --John Hedley Brooke, Andreas Idreos Professor of Science and Religion and director of the Ian Ramsey Centre, University of Oxford Elliott Sober is Hans Reichenbach Professor and William F. Vilas Research Professor in the Philosophy Department at the University of Wisconsin, Madison. He is the author of nine other books, including Evidence and Evolution: The Logic Behind the Science and Reconstructing the Past: Parsimony, Evolution, and Inference, which won the prestigious Lakatos Prize in the Philosophy of Science.
