Darwin

The concept of evolution that has been attributed to Charles Darwin is in reality a cultural conceit. The presupposition that Darwin was the first man on the planet to intuit the concept of evolution as a vehicle of change for all things is hard to accept when the ancients were well aware of his vision. We are not berating Darwin completely though, for it is unknown whether any man before him had attributed evolution to individual species, an important insight, but it seems rather perverse to accept this conclusion first and then extrapolate the concept of evolution to everything else.
