Why is it important?

My article is important because I challenged Amartya Sen on his interpretation of Darwin which he first proposed in his Darwin lecture at Cambridge University.

Perspectives

My perspective was Darwin's view was quite compatible with modern environmental preservation which Amartya Sen overlooked.
