Learned Societies Charles Darwin Scientific
657 wordsIn 1830, nearly 30 years before the controversies over Charles Darwin and Origin began in England, France experienced their own heated debate over the issues of transformism.

This is the world which John Savage and others in the novel foolishly came to hate. All of the things that John Savage desires are the things that make our society unstable. Huxley uses John Savage to show the reader ...
