Evolution: The Remarkable History of a Scientific Theory by Edward J. Larson

An interesting description of the idea of evolution that created two main thoughts: (1) It is fascinating what was discovered when, meaning that if I was born in a different time (or a different country in the present for that matter), I wouldn’t know as much as I do; and (2) People were so wrong! So many great thinkers just had too many (often religious) blinkers.
