Gowan Dawson examines the complex intersection of Victorian evolutionary theory and the visual culture of the nineteenth century. Through a rigorous analysis of popular scientific media, the book explores how illustrations, museum displays, and public exhibitions shaped the public perception of human origins and the development of evolutionary thought during a period of profound intellectual transition.
