Show Notes

On this episode of ID The Future Discovery Institute Senior Fellow Dr. John West talks about his forthcoming book, Darwin's Conservatives: The Misguided Quest.

Most conservatives are presumed to be critical of Darwin’s theory, yet a number of thinkers on the right, such as George Will, James Q. Wilson, and Larry Arnhart, have mounted a vigorous defense of Darwinism. West shows that the attempts to reconcile conservatism and Darwinian biology ultimately misunderstand both.
