"The Making of Species" by Douglas Dewar is a book examining theories about evolution in the time after Darwin. The book looks at different ideas like Wallaceism and Lamarckism and points out where these ideas might not be complete. The author wants to explain the tricky parts of how creatures change over time and come up with new ways to think about how species are created. At the start, the book talks about what scientists thought about evolution back then and questions some popular beliefs. The author thinks that ideas like natural selection don't fully explain everything, and he wants to offer a more complete view by looking at different reasons for evolution. This sets the scene for a deep look at how species evolve, pushing for a fair study and fresh ideas to understand how life grows and changes.
