Product Description

▼▲

This is an account of the so-called "monkey trial" (Tennessee v. John Thomas Scopes) of 1925. The author relates not only the history of the event but also illuminates its significance to man for all time. As the American Historical Review said of this book: "The theme of this book is not the theory of evolution but the theory of democracy." Ray Ginger was Professor of History at the University of Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
