Darwin's Sacred Cause

Darwin's Sacred Cause: Race, Slavery and the Quest for Human Origins (Hardcover)

In this remarkable book, Adrian Desmond and James Moore, world authorities on Darwin, give a completely new explanation of how Darwin came to his famous view of evolution, which traced all life to an ancient common ancestor. Darwin was committed to the abolition of slavery, in part because of his family’s deeply held beliefs. Through massive detective work among unpublished family correspondence, manuscripts and rare works, the authors back up their compelling claim in Darwin's Sacred Cause.
