摘要

Isaac Newton is famously quoted as having said:"If I have seen farther [than certain other men] it is by standing upon the shoulders of giants".This talk will introduce the giants on whose shoulders Darwin stood as he developed his theory of evolution.Ancient Greek philosophers introduced the ‘Problem of Change' as one that results in a logical paradox:how can something change and yet remain essentially the same? This problem dominated and constrained the discussions of developmental change in animals and the possibility of species transformation throughout the Age of Enlightenment.It was left to Darwin to resolve the issue with his theories of ‘variation' and ‘natural selection',but at the cost of losing the very category about which he was writing:the species.
