Darwin was not the first to imagine that species change. Samuel Butler revisits the earlier evolutionists, Buffon, Lamarck, and others, arguing their case and challenging the newer theory with wit and provocation. A spirited, contrarian history of the idea. Discover the older thinkers who glimpsed evolution before it had a name.
Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
