Evolution in Victorian BritainVolume I: Evolution Before Darwin\nAuthor(s): Caden C. Testa, Piers J. Hale\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: Taylor & Francis Ltd, United Kingdom\nImprint: Routledge\nISBN-13: 9781032791128, 978-1032791128\nSynopsis\nThis volume provides the readers with a broad but detailed consideration of a wide array of transmutationist thinkers who published before Darwin. Highlighting some of those whom Darwin later acknowledged as well as number he chose not to, readers are shown that the notion that none of these earlier thinkers offered a well-developed or workable theory of evolution is untenable once we read their own words. Further, we will quickly see that transmutation, or the developmental hypothesis as it was also sometimes called, had a wide audience across the period under consideration.\n\nScholars such as Adrian Desmond have already drawn attention to the political radicals in the London and Edinburgh medical schools who embraced the transmutationist.
