Why Did Darwinism Emerge?

Whoah - looks like I've missed the Dwyer Christmas Special.

I don't think I'm going to have time to read the whole thing, but can I assume that we are settled on whether value is perceptible in the body of the goat?
 
Anyone reading that response will know that you are only capable of talking bullshit. I knew that long ago.
short point quickly made: i have never mentioned playground squabbles to you, i have never reminded you of your youth. it was fucking wasted on you, though, you dull shit.
 
Quite proud of my contribution - a quote from Marx and a reasonably clever (by my low standards) snide comment. Sterling bit of work.
 
Well, it's disappointing to see that Lock and Light has managed to disrupt yet another interesting thread with his pointless bickering.

Perhaps this is a good time to sum up the points on which, I think, just about everyone had reached agreement before we were so rudely interrupted. As I see it they are TWO in number:

1. Darwinism emerged as an ideological counterpart to the early capitalist economics of Adam Smith and Thomas Malthus.

2. The so-called "Darwinist era" in evolutionary theory lasted approximately 1880--1980.

If anyone still has any objections to these conclusions, they should raise them now. In the absence of such objections, I shall now proceed to outline my own post-Darwinist theory of evolutionary biology.
 
Oh good grief.

:facepalm: at everyone who's posted on this thread, including me.

What on earth are you on ?

Well obviously not everyone will agree about every single detail of a subject this complex. But I think we've reached a broad consensus on the two major points that I describe above.

If you still have any objection to them, feel free to raise them now. For once we move on, there will be no going back to the matters with which we have already disposed.
