TopThe Year of Darwin Special Issue January 2009
Edited by Douglas Braaten
The far-reaching influence of Darwin's ideas no doubt began soon after publication of The Origin of Species in 1859. By the early 1900's, evolutionary ideas had filtered into disciplines such as paleontology and anthropology, and with time they began to touch many others, including philosophy, psychology and climate. For over 100 years the Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences has published articles that owe great intellectual debt to Darwin. In celebration of this, we proudly present a 'virtual volume' of papers from the Annals archive that either adapted evolutionary ideas directly or borrowed or molded them in novel ways.
