| 500 ## - GENERAL NOTE | |
| General note | The question of human origin and purpose has been at the heart of the tension over religion and science. The Baha'i Faith formed in the late 19th century and has a nuanced take: humans evolved over a long time from a primitive form, but not as a haphazard branch of the ape family. Donaldson explores this intriguing issue with a thorough review of the Baha'i scriptures on human origin, efforts by Baha'i authors to reconcile the tension with common ancestry, and a deep dive into what unfolding science has to say about the idea of separate lines of ancestry. Highly educational, logically developed, and a page-turner, this book includes a comprehensive analysis of the Baha'i perspective on evolution, coupled with cutting-edge evolutionary theory that will leave you amazed. |
