is commonly cited as the person who "discovered" evolution. But, the
historical record shows that roughly seventy different individuals
published work on the topic of evolution between 1748 and 1859, the
year that Darwin published On the Origin of Species. William Friedman
will discuss the ideas of these pre-Darwinian evolutionists, place
Darwin in a broader historical context, and examine the nature of
scientific discovery and attribution.
