The Collateral impact of Darwinism

Human beings have always been interested in their origins. We in the twenty-first century still are, and those living in nineteenth-century England during the reign of Queen Victoria (l837-1901) were as much intrigued (and baffled) as we are. Our present day interest in Darwin is attested to by the ever-present debate between Darwinists of every persuasion and those who might be called "anti-Darwinists," particularly the group which might be labeled "Creationists."
