Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book, first published in 1909, examines the emergence of the concept of evolution across history. The author traces the idea of evolution as it appears in the writings of notable thinkers and scientists from ancient Greece, China, and India, showing how the idea was gradually refined over time. The book also explores broader cultural attitudes towards evolution, such as the prevailing beliefs in supernatural creation. The book finds that many great thinkers across history from a diverse range of backgrounds independently touched on the ideas that would become more formally articulated in Darwin's theory of evolution. Its publication comes at a time when the acceptance of evolution is far from universal in many parts of the world, and the author hopes that by tracing the history of the idea, including early scientific insights, they can help the reader better understand the validity and importance of the scientific consensus on evolution.
