... | III | IIII | PART IV : Appendixes I | II | III | IV | Acknowledgements | Notes And References | AUTHOR'S PREFACE Here is another book dealing with cosmic catastrophism. One of the most important problems science has had to solve is to discover whether the world has evolved gradually, by imperceptible changes, as Lyell and Darwin propounded ... divine intervention was the cause of the global destructions and of successive creations' (necessary to explain the continuity of life) was the great weakness of the nineteenth century's `catastrophists'. Lyellism and Darwinism were thus as much a liberation from religious dogmatism as a step towards comprehension of the processes of evolution of the Earth and its living creatures ...

Many readers will no doubt disagree with his views if they subscribe to a creationist or some other teleogical belief, or prefer a more strongly catastrophist view of evolution. But they will be pleased to see that Gould does try to make some effort not to shy away from the major problems of Darwinian evolution. ...

... book's credibility faded when it should have been gaining strength. For this and other reasons, I began to focus most of my attention on the revised chronology.
