Description

Theory of Evolution: A History of Controversy is a course on the scientific, religious, and cultural debates surrounding the theory of evolution from its origins to the modern era, published by The Great Courses Plus online academy. This course examines the scientific, religious, and cultural debates surrounding the theory of evolution from its origins to the modern era. The course examines how Charles Darwin’s groundbreaking ideas transformed biology, challenged traditional worldviews, and sparked debates that continue to shape science and society today. Students will gain a balanced understanding of the evidence supporting evolution as well as the philosophical and theological questions it raises.

This course traces the development of evolutionary thought from pre-Darwinian ideas to Darwin’s On the Origin of Species and beyond, examining how natural selection became the foundation of modern biology. This course examines public and religious responses to Darwin’s work, including the tension between science and faith, and landmark moments such as the Scopes “Monkey Trial.” Students will study the synthesis of genetics and evolution, the rise of modern evolutionary biology, and current debates about intelligent design and creationism. The program demonstrates how evolution has influenced a variety of fields, from anthropology to genetics, and encourages critical thinking about scientific progress, evidence, and the ways in which ideas evolve in society over time.
