The Science of Discworld series is arguably unique in style: we call it fact/fantasy fusion. The scenario allows serious discussion of solid, current science, without distorting it into 'yes, pigs really could fly given GM wings' or whatever. All three books entered the Sunday Times bestseller lists, and the third made it to number one, so we managed to reach a significantly large audience. Perhaps the most gratifying comment came from a Times reviewer: 'the hard science is as gripping as the fiction'. Which is just as it should be.<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup></p></blockquote> <p>The title refers to <a href="/wiki/William_Paley" title="William Paley">William Paley</a>'s <a href="/wiki/Watchmaker_analogy" title="Watchmaker analogy">watchmaker analogy</a> and <a href="/wiki/Richard_Dawkins" title="Richard Dawkins">Richard Dawkins</a>' subsequent description of evolution as <a href="/wiki/The_Blind_Watchmaker" title="The Blind Watchmaker">the Blind Watchmaker</a>. </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Plot_summary">Plot summary</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=The_Science_of_Discworld_III:_Darwin%27s_Watch&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: Plot summary"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>In the <i>Discworld</i> story the wizards learn that, once again, the history of Roundworld has changed, resulting in humans failing to leave Earth before the <a href="/wiki/Extinction_event" title="Extinction event">extinction event</a> shown in the earlier books. They discover that the difference from established history was that <a href="/wiki/Charles_Darwin" title="Charles Darwin">Charles Darwin</a> wrote a book called <i>Theology of Species</i>, which described how evolution must be controlled by a Creator. This was generally accepted by both religious figures and conservative scientists, and led to a certain stagnation of thought, preventing the eventual invention of the <a href="/wiki/Space_elevator" title="Space elevator">space elevator</a>. When the wizards try to correct this, the potential futures of Roundworld go mad. The possibility of Darwin ever writing the book becomes near zero, with most futures featuring his death or failure to write a book in seemingly improbable—and sometimes downright ridiculous—ways. </p><p>The wizards eventually deduce that Roundworld has caught the attention of the Auditors of Reality, who approve of a universe which runs on unthinking rules, and disapprove of humans, who try to make it more like the <a href="/wiki/Discworld_(world)" title="Discworld (world)">Discworld</a>. Unlike the <a href="/wiki/Elves_(Discworld)" class="mw-redirect" title="Elves (Discworld)">elven</a> invasion in <i>The Globe</i>, which suppressed our creativity unthinkingly, this is a deliberate attempt to prevent humans escaping Earth. </p><p>While attempting to maintain a timeline where <i>The Origin</i> was written, the wizards inadvertently take Darwin to the Discworld. There they discover that his line of thought was disrupted by an Auditor-advised visit from the Disc's God of Evolution, leading to <i>Theology</i>. After defeating the Auditors the wizards manage to correct this, by explaining the situation to Darwin. Since Darwin then wishes to forget the whole thing, they are ethically able to grant his request after showing him the culmination of his legacy—the Natural History Museum in London. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Ideas_and_themes">Ideas and themes</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=The_Science_of_Discworld_III:_Darwin%27s_Watch&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Ideas and themes"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>In the discussion section Cohen and Stewart examine the theory of <a href="/wiki/Evolution" title="Evolution">evolution</a> and the changes in the idea over the years.

The <i>Discworld</i> story reflects all this, as the wizards must ensure that <i><a href="/wiki/The_Origin_of_Species" class="mw-redirect" title="The Origin of Species">The Origin of Species</a></i> is written to maintain <a href="/wiki/History_of_Earth" title="History of Earth">Earth's history</a>. </p><p>At the 2006 Discworld Convention, Cohen and Stewart explained that they originally drafted a very different outline for <i>Science of Discworld III</i>, in which the wizards visited various different fictional versions of <a href="/wiki/Mars" title="Mars">Mars</a> (<a href="/wiki/Ray_Bradbury" title="Ray Bradbury">Ray Bradbury</a>'s Mars, <a href="/wiki/H._G._Wells" title="H. G. Wells">H. G. Wells</a>' Mars, <a href="/wiki/Edgar_Rice_Burroughs" title="Edgar Rice Burroughs">Edgar Rice Burroughs</a>' Mars, etc.), culminating in the discovery of a Discworld version of <a href="/wiki/Barsoom" title="Barsoom">Barsoom</a>, (a square, red world, on the back of four thoats, on the back of a giant zitidar). This was abandoned when it was realised both that this discovery would have to have repercussions in later books, especially if, as planned, the "Martians" invaded; and also that Barsoom was close enough to <a href="/wiki/Sword_and_sorcery" title="Sword and sorcery">sword and sorcery</a> in any case that transplanting it to the Discworld setting did not alter it enough to be funny. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Reception">Reception</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=The_Science_of_Discworld_III:_Darwin%27s_Watch&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Reception"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The book was reviewed by Ian C.W Hardy for <i>Trends in Ecology & Evolution</i>. The reviewer wrote that the book, focusing, as the title implies, on the theory of <a href="/wiki/Evolution" title="Evolution">evolution</a>, "is more than a fun story" due to it touching upon a mixture of real world dimensions of science, and that "the value of <i>Darwin’s Watch</i> lies in the way that a diversity of scientific areas are discussed to form an overview of how science does and does not work, and where we are currently 'at'".
