As the book's Editor, Dorothy Green, states "... He questions Natural Selection as a single, all-sufficient explanation of evolution. He has a gift reconciling seeming opposites, imparting to his discussion of the paradoxical a calm wisdom that awakens the reader while exerting no pressure to agree."
