Long before Darwin boarded the Beagle, humanity has been consumed by a singular, burning question: where do we come from? The Encyclopedia of Evolution: Humanity's Search for Its Origins by Richard Milner is the definitive A-to-Z reference work that chronicles this centuries-long intellectual quest, presenting an exhaustive survey of the science, scientists, controversies, and discoveries that have shaped our understanding of life on Earth. With a prestigious foreword by the legendary Stephen Jay Gould, this comprehensive volume details everything from landmark fossil finds and pivotal figures like Charles Darwin and Thomas Huxley to the philosophical and cultural battles that evolutionary theory has ignited across the globe. Milner writes with the rare gift of making complex scientific concepts both accessible and thrilling, weaving together biology, anthropology, geology, and history into a cohesive and authoritative narrative. Each entry illuminates a piece of the grand puzzle, arguing implicitly that the story of evolution is inseparable from the story of human curiosity itself. Published by the respected Facts On File imprint, this encyclopedia stands as an indispensable resource for students, naturalists, and anyone who has ever gazed at a fossil and wondered — what came before us, and what does it mean for who we are today?
