Though we do recognise his wit and incredible knowledge in various areas, the topic of the book (the rise, impacts, implications, and fall of the idea that ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny) is treated epistemologically. Before you accept this the book is rather difficult to read. But I was then fascinated by what it reveils of the way scientific ideas and scientific paradigms evolve in the history of science and the hitherto unknown (well, at least to me) impacts of this idea on, for instance, Freud and Piaget. Also, reading this book gives an opportunity to follow genuine scientific reasoning and conceptulisation in the area of evolutionary paleontology, which makes a change from the many easier, albeit highly interesting, works of popular science. serious epistemology This book is really different from what Stephen J Gould has accustomed us to in his later and more popular works.
