A New Theory Of The Origin Of Species (1883)

By Benjamin G. Ferris and Benjamin G Ferris

Book Overview

""A New Theory of the Origin of Species"" is a book written by Benjamin G. Ferris and published in 1883. The book proposes a new theory on how species originated, which differs from the theory of natural selection proposed by Charles Darwin. Ferris argues that species were created by a divine power, but that they were not created all at once. Instead, he suggests that new species were created gradually over time, through a process of ""progressive development."" Ferris also argues that the process of evolution is not random, but rather guided by a divine plan. The book is a fascinating read for anyone interested in the history of evolutionary theory and the debate over the role of religion in scientific inquiry.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
