The theory of evolution generated numerous debate among scientists, philosophers and the general public. Questions concerning the evolution of animals and humans, the existence of any blueprint or design in biology, and the relationship between Darwinism and Lamarckism rapidly became key topics of many scientific and philosophical texts, but also of novels and periodical articles. In Victorian England, Samuel Butler (1835-1902) critically discussed evolution in both novels and popular essays. Butler's idea of evolution rejected Darwin's theory of natural selection proposing instead a neo-Lamarckian philosophy of evolution called 'unconscious memory'.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnalysing Butler's writings, Cristiano Turbil guides the reader through the complexity of the continental evolutionary debate, presenting a new and original interpretation of Butler's scientific and literary work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCristiano Turbil is currently teaching history of medicine and science at University College London.
