About this book
The Coming of Evolution, subtitled The Story of a Great Revolution in Science, is by John W. Judd, who is described as formerly Professor of Geology and Dean of the Royal College of Science. The text asks whether we do not even at the present day compare human characteristics with those of animals, the courage of the lion, the cunning of the fox, the fidelity of the dog, and the parental affection of the bird. The text says that Mr Frazer has shown how the legends concerning the relations of certain tribes of men with particular species of animals have arisen.
The text says that Lyell was at that time at work on his review for the Quarterly of Scrope's Central France, and was also completing the first sketch of the Principles. The text says that, as the result of continued study of Lamarck's book, Lyell found it, in spite of its fascination, to embody a theory which he could not but regard as unsound. The index lists, among others, Cuvier, with his strong support of Catastrophism, and Darwin, Charles, with nobility of character.
