This is a very cool idea for a list! So many of these books look interesting just from the titles. 👀

thank you! i'm trying to limit the "scope" but yes, so many interesting books... even some that are flawed (i restricted it to darwin for now) have their place in terms of the social (mis)construction of the (biological) past. i hope you find something fun n informative to read here :]
