Randall Fuller examines the profound intellectual and cultural impact of Charles Darwin’s 'On the Origin of Species' upon its arrival in the United States in 1860. By tracing the reactions of prominent American thinkers, including Henry David Thoreau and Ralph Waldo Emerson, the narrative illustrates how evolutionary theory catalyzed intense debates regarding science, religion, and the impending American Civil War.
