Description:
'[Desmond] shows us the early evolutionists in their proper political context, celebrated in radical circles, but bobbing and weaving to avoid the backlash..... If historians have yet to recognize that taste [for evolution before Darwin], it is because they have been looking in the wrong places--in salons instead of saloon bars, among the cut glass accent of scientific gentlemen instead of the cut price anatomy courses of the medical reformers. In The Politics of Evolution, Desmond proves the point a hundred times over, providing, in the process, a much needed political dimension to our ideas about evolution.' -- Stephen Young, The Guardian
