Evolution in Modern Thought

by William Bateson ...

The first naturalist to give a broad and concrete expression to the evolutionist doctrine of descent was Buffon (1707-1788), but it is interesting to recall the fact that his contemporary Linnæus (1707-1778), protagonist of the counter-doctrine of the fixity of species, went the length of admitting (in 1762) that new species might arise by inter-crossing. Buffon's position among the pioneers of ... Read more

Chi siamo, da dove veniamo

Non ci è dato saperlo, ma Darwin ci era andato abbastanza vicino.Darwin fu sicuramente un rivoluzionario, ma non tanto per il concetto di evoluzione, di cui fu in realtà più erede e diffusore che non ideatore, quanto per l’affermazione del cambiamento come necessità incessante, biologicamente benefica e connaturata all’esistenza. A due secoli di distanza, la teoria dell ... Read more
