Description

Rediscovering Darwin: The Rest of Darwin's Theory and Why We Need It Today

Hailed as a breakthrough in 12 pages of pre-publication reviews by leading evolutionary thinkers, this book reveals the long-buried remainder of Darwin's complete theory of evolution. Psychologist and evolutionary systems scientist David Loye uncovers how Darwin's original work extended far beyond "survival of the fittest" to encompass love, morality, community, and spirituality as primary evolutionary drivers.

The Lost Theory Revealed

Opening during the Cold War tensions, when "survival of the fittest" mindset drove nuclear powers toward potential annihilation, Loye recounts how scientists from the U.S. and Russia met secretly in Budapest. Their mission: use chaos theory to replace the destructive "survival of the fittest" paradigm with Darwin's more complete evolutionary framework.

Through internationally expanding research, five critical factors emerged from Darwin's neglected writings to "speed the evolution of our species":

Darwin's higher-order understanding of sex and reproduction
Scientific exploration of love as a fundamental evolutionary drive
The global bond of community in species development
The moral sense as primary in evolution, with Darwin calling selfishness a "base principle" accounting for "the low morality of savages"
Spirituality and positive religious teachings' role in evolutionary progress

From Cold War to Modern Crisis

Rediscovering Darwin weaves three narratives: the discovery of Darwin's complete theory, the mystery of its century-long suppression, and its urgent relevance today. In sharp contrast between Darwin's recovered insights and contemporary "winners versus losers" mentality, Loye demonstrates why updating evolutionary theory matters for social action.

Beginning in the 19th century and spanning through the 21st, the book traces how Darwin's complete work was systematically erased from scientific history—and how a rising alliance of scientists and social activists now reclaims it. Darwin emerges not just as the father of natural selection, but as a thinker aligned with Jesus in religion and Immanuel Kant in philosophy, who recognized women's morality and became an early supporter of women's advancement.

About the Author

David Loye is a psychologist, evolutionary systems scientist, and author of thirty books including the national award-winning The Healing of a Nation and Darwin's Lost Theory. Originally a newsman in the Edward R. Murrow era who became a scientist, he served on Princeton and UCLA School of Medicine faculties. Dr. Loye co-founded three international organizations for expanding evolution studies: The General Evolution Research Group, The Society for Chaos Theory in Psychology and the Life Sciences, and with Riane Eisler, The Center for Partnership Studies. A World War II veteran married to a Holocaust survivor, he lives with his wife in California.

This paperback edition offers essential reading for understanding complete Darwinian theory beyond reductionist interpretations, providing scientific and philosophical foundations for a better future.
