Over the Bones of the Dead

Evolutionary Science—Past, Present & Future

“It is exceedingly interesting to see your grasp of the struggles in biology and genetics. I’m glad that there is this discussion going on because for most of us laymen the genetics arguments become quite baffling and we can’t image what the issues really are. I think you do an excellent job of clarifying things so we can begin to understand.”

—Vine Deloria, Jr., author of "Evolution, Creationism, and Other Modern Myths”

"This is a wonderful book, brimful of new insights and ideas that challenge the complacency of current evolutionary biology. Sharp and concise, there isn't a dull sentence in it. I would strongly recommend it to any intelligent reader."

—Frank Ryan, author of "Darwin's Blind Spot: Evolution Beyond Natural Selection”

"In Over the Bones of the Dead, Ted Hall gives the corpse of the neo-Darwinian synthesis, the current version of evolution by natural selection, a concise autopsy, identifying the cause of death as mistaken genetic determinism. In his funeral oration, he clears the way for the development of what he calls a "neo-creationism" based on the concepts of consciousness in all living things and a God immanent in nature. While Ted and I might differ on the exact form a neo-creationist theory might take, Over the Bones of the Dead is a fine piece of intellectual history and deserves the attention of all those working toward spirituality based alternatives to the now outdated theory of evolution by natural selection."

—Michael A. Cremo, author of “Human Devolution—A Vedic Alternative to Darwin’s Theory”, and (with R.L. Thompson) “Forbidden Archeology”
