Gabriel Tordjman’s book published
December 1st, 2020
Gabriel Tordjman鈥檚 book was published this summer. The book is entitled: Darwin鈥檚 Tea Party; Biological Knowledge, Evolution, Genetics and Human Nature.
The book by the 星空传媒视频 Humanities teacher examines how biological knowledge has transformed the planet and reshaped humanity. Using the concept of biological knowledge, the author explores key persons, places, ideas and events that have shaped the world. He shows that while the development of biological knowledge has opened vast new vistas in our understanding of the living world and promises material abundance for some; refracted through the distorting lens of ideology, it has also contributed to great inequality and oppression.
