Excerpt from From the Greeks to Darwin: An Outline of the Development of the Evolution Idea
T1115 volume has grown out of lectures first de vered in Princeton in 1890, upon the period Buffon and Darwin, and completed in a course delivered in Columbia in 1893, which covered also the period before Buffon. When I began the study, my object was to bring forward the many strong and true features of pre-darwinian Evolution, which are so generally passed over or misunderstood. When all the materials were brought together from the earliest times, the evi dence of continuity in the development of the idea became more clear, and to trace these lines of development has gradually become the central motive bf these lectures. More thorough research, which may, perhaps, be stimulated by these out lines will, I believe, strengthen this evidence.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book traces the history of the evolutionary idea from the ancient Greeks to the work of Darwin. The author argues that the idea of evolution has a long and complex history, and that it was not until the work of Darwin that it was fully articulated as a scientific theory. The author also discusses the various objections to the theory of evolution that have been raised over the centuries, and he argues that these objections have been largely overcome by the evidence that has been amassed in recent years. This book provides a comprehensive overview of the history of evolutionary thought, and it is an essential read for anyone who is interested in the origins of life on Earth.
