Many of the controversies surrounding theories of human evolution play out, not in the arena of "science versus religion" but within the field itself. Competing interpretations of evolution have always led to conflicting ideas. The "evolution" of evolutionary theory is itself a story filled with intense debates, fascinating personalities, intellectual wrong turns, outright hoaxes, and serendipitous breakthroughs.
