Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. The first book to examine the iconic depiction of evolution, the march of progress, and its role in shaping our understanding of evolution We are all familiar with the march of progress, the representation of evolution that depicts a series of apelike creatures becoming progressively taller…and more erect before finally reaching the upright human form. Its emphasis on linear progress has had a decisive impact on public understanding of evolution, yet the image contradicts modern scientific conceptions of evolution as complex and branching. This book is the first to examine the origins and history of this ubiquitous and hugely consequential illustration. In a story spanning more than a century, from Victorian Britain to America in the Space Age, Gowan Dawson traces the interconnected histories of the two most important versions of the image: the frontispiece to Thomas Henry Huxleys Evidence as to Mans Place in Nature (1863) and The Road to Homo Sapiens, a fold-out illustration in the best-selling book Early Man (1965). Dawson explores how the recurring appearances of this image functioned as a weather vane of shifting scientific and public perspectives on human evolution, as well as an indicator of novel artistic approaches and advancements in technology. The first book to examine the iconic depiction of evolution, the march of progress, and its role in shaping our understanding of how humans evolved Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Paperback. Condition: New. The success of Charles Darwin's evolutionary theories in mid-nineteenth-century Britain has long been attributed, in part, to his own adherence to strict standards of Victorian respectability, especially in regard to sex. Gowan Dawson contends that the fashioning of such respectability was by no means…straightforward or unproblematic, with Darwin and his principal supporters facing surprisingly numerous and enduring accusations of encouraging sexual impropriety. Integrating contextual approaches to the history of science with work in literary studies, Dawson sheds light on the well-known debates over evolution by examining them in relation to the murky underworlds of Victorian pornography, sexual innuendo, unrespectable freethought and artistic sensualism. Such disreputable and generally overlooked aspects of nineteenth-century culture were actually remarkably central to many of these controversies. Focusing particularly on aesthetic literature and legal definitions of obscenity, Dawson reveals the underlying tensions between Darwin's theories and conventional notions of Victorian respectability.
