Darwin's name is included in all lists of the most famous scientists of all times and peoples, no matter who compiles them. This is the man who once and for all changed mankind's understanding of nature, of life on Earth and of himself. However, the name of a brilliant researcher, visionary and revolutionary in science, continues to disturb minds, excite anger and hatred, and even now, almost a century and a half after his death, there is no end to the world hunters to kick a dead lion.
This image became a vivid metaphor for Maksim Winarsky's book on Darwin's posthumous biography, for just as a man's life continues as long as he is remembered, so too does a scientist's biography continue as long as his legacy lives on. After his death, Darwin's theory was subjected to various interpretations and distortions, sometimes perverse and dangerous. His evolutionary teachings have been exploited by adherents of the most opposing political movements and ideologies, far removed from the problems of theoretical biology. Fortunately, his brilliant conjectures are being further developed in modern evolutionary science, and that is the main thing.
