A Separate Creation

"What this book does, fascinatingly and with a lightness of touch, is to establish a series of demonstrable truths about sexuality and to argue vehemently on the side of this kind of research being carried out."

-Mail on Sunday

"Enthralling- unputdownable!"

- Ray Olson, BookList

"Many of the views which have been advanced [here] are highly speculative, and some no doubt will prove erroneous; but I have in every case given the reasons which have led me to one view rather than another.... The great principle of evolution stands up clear and firm, when these groups of facts are considered in connection with others, such as the mutual affinities of the members of the same group, their geographical distribution in past and present times, and their geological succession. It is incredible that all these facts should speak falsely. He who is not content to look, like a savage, at the phenomena of nature as disconnected cannot any longer believe that man is the work of a separate act of creation.... We thus learn that man is descended from a hairy quadruped, furnished with a tail and pointed ears, probably arboreal in its habits....

"The main conclusion arrived at in this work... will, I regret to think, be highly distasteful to many persons.... But we are not here concerned with hopes and fears, only with the truth as far as our reason allows us to discover it. I have given the evidence to the best of my ability."

-Charles Darwin, Chapter XXI, The Descent of Man, 1871
