Reseña del editor
"The social construction of scientific knowledge, clearly one of the most exciting trends in the history of science in the 1890's, has made a solid stride forward with the publication of Archetypes and Ancestors. . . . Adrian Desmond set out to determine how much light might be shed on the mid-Victorian controversies over fossil reconstruction by an investigation of the ideological commitments and political programs of London paleontologists. The answer is: a great deal of light. The resulting book is thoroughly fascinating."—Philip Rehbock, American Historical Review
"A sophisticated study of the colonization of scientific territory—specifically of rival attempts to design the dinosaur—and of the constructive (not just obstructive) role of social pressures in the making of 'lasting contributions' to science. Not least it is a joy to read, perkily irreverent at times and full of nice vignettes and memorable turns of phrase."—Roy Porter, Times Higher Education Supplement

Original Paperback. Zustand: Gut. Ill.; 287 p. From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Very good and clean. - Carpenter's support for Huxley in the fifties and sixties brings me to my last point. Although x Club agitation was primarily for secular and naturalistic ends, it enjoyed the backing of many young Christian biologists in the city. Carpenter for one, the Methodist anatomist and proverbial boffin W. K. Parker for another, and of course the Broad Churchman Flower, arguably the best museum curator last century: all shared Huxley's financial fears and "professionalising" concerns. All wanted Natural History knocked into shape as a professional (i.e. reputable) discipline, which invariably meant ousting the spider-stuffers, country parsons and the like. Christian surgeons, the affable Flower and Huxley's Calvinistic colleague, J. W. Hulke, who did so much of the palaeontological donkey work, admittedly kept a low profile, nevertheless their presence was probably crucial. From this fact alone it should be clear that what we are investigating is not the wearisome 'warfare' history of old. Never was it simply a matter of Church-baiting rationalists triumphing over religious obscurantism, but a more subtle attempt, jointly undertaken by 'agnostics', deists and some Christians, to professionalise science and put it at the disposal of the mercantile middle classes. Hence the inevitable opposition of the Oxbridge dons, in the service, so to speak, of the traditionally antagonistic landed party, with its diametric social and moral order. Not to put too fine a point on it, the debate - even as it affected palaeontology - was probably as much about the kind of social order that should prevail, democratic or aristocratic, as whether natural theology still had a place in evolutionary theory, although in the final analysis the two factors will undoubtedly be found to be inextricably related.So my strategy, broadly speaking, will be to investigate how far abstruse debates over mammal ancestry or dinosaur stance reflected the cultural context and the social commitment of the protagonists, and as a result to determine the extent to which ideological influences penetrated palaeontology to shape it at both the conceptual and factual level.
