The Philosophy of Zoology Before Darwin: A translated and annotated version of the original French text by Edmond Perrier

Editorial Review:
Product Description:
This long-overlooked survey of the development of evolutionary theory is by far the most thorough and balanced account of its kind. Unlike most of the recent Anglo-centric literature that tends to focus almost exclusively on Darwin and natural selection, it follows the work of naturalists of many nationalities who used paleontology, comparative anatomy, and embryology in order to establish a linear continuity of evolving life though the long span of geological time.
Thorough historical survey of the development of the concept of evolution before the publication of Darwin’s ‘The Origin of Species’.
Providing an alternative view of the recent literature and journal articles commemorating Darwin’s 200th birthday and the 150th anniversary of publication of ‘The Origin of Species’.
Richly annotated with up to date information and explanations of the changing concepts and terminology as well as featuring an extensive Glossary and Biographical index.
