- Title
CHAPTER 4. The Centrality and Critical Importance of Wonder and of an Ongoing Spiral of Inquiry in Understandings of Human Nature.
- Abstract
Chapter 4 of the book "The Importance of Evolution to Understandings of Human Nature" by Maxine Sheets-Johnstone is presented. It explores the open-ended nature of evolution theorist Charles Darwin's thinking and writings, who considered the animate life "wonderful," highlighting diversified instincts, mental powers, and the power of adaptation given to organization. Darwin is continuously full of wonder about what he observes and, in turn ceaselessly finds what he observes to be wonderful.
