Professor Jessica Riskin in the New York Review of Books

Professor Riskin’s engaging new book, The Power of Life: The Invention of Biology and the Revolutionary Science of Jean-Baptiste Lamarck, was reviewed for the New York Review of Books. 

"Posterity avenged him... In a society still solidly creationist in outlook, Jean-Baptiste Lamarck was the first working scientist to embrace the modern idea that species or lineages of organisms can evolve over time." - Ian Tattersall
