Evolution Before Darwin: Theories of the Transmutation of Species in Edinburgh, 1804–1834 - Tapa dura
Sinopsis
It was long believed that evolutionary theories received an almost universally cold reception in British natural history circles in the first half of the nineteenth century. However, a relatively recently serious doubt has been cast on this assumption. This book shows that Edinburgh in the late 1820s and early 1830s was witness to a ferment of radical new ideas on the natural world, including speculation on the origin and evolution of life, at just the time when Charles Darwin was a student in the city. Those who were students in Edinburgh at the time could have hardly avoided coming into contact with these new ideas. This book is the first major study of what was probably the most important centre or pre-Darwinian evolutionary thought in the British Isles. It sheds new light on the genesis and development of one of the most important scientific theories in the history of western thought.

De la contraportada
Puts Edinburgh at the centre of pre-Darwinian evolutionary thought in the British IslesThis book challenges the long-held perception that theories of evolution initially received a cold reception in British natural history circles. It shows that, in the late 1820s and 1830s, Edinburgh was witness to a veritable ferment of radical new ideas on the natural world – including speculation on the origin and evolution of life – at just the time when the young Charles Darwin was a student in the city.Highlighting the work of key evolutionary thinkers of the time, including Henry H. Cheek, Robert Grant, Robert Knox and Robert Jameson, author Bill Jenkins reveals the largely neglected role that Edinburgh and its medical school played in the history of evolutionary thought.Bill Jenkins is a postdoctoral research fellow in the School of History at the University of St Andrews
