Samuel Butler
Evolution, Old & New: The Theories of Buffon, Dr. Erasmus Darwin and Lamarck, as compared with that of Charles Darwin
Paperback
(CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform Nov. 11, 2017)
In his second book on evolution Butler surveyed the contributions of the early theorists – Buffon, Erasmus Darwin and Lamarck – alongside the more recent theories of Herbert Spencer, St George Mivart and Charles Darwin, attempting to present his own ideas as a continuation of the scientific history. The book dramatically concluded that Charles Darwin’s work was little more than a rehashing of Erasmus Darwin’s and Lamarck’s, combined with a denial of ‘the purposiveness or teleology inherent in evolution as first propounded’.
