Review of 'Book That Shook the World' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

The book explains evolution and natural selection from different points of view including Western and Hindu philosophers and thinkers and believes that the two can learn from each other. The part about the fight between the religion and Darwin's evolutionary idea was of great interest to me, in which you can read about the inability of religious reasons to explain evolution and the concept of different species.
