Abstract
Dr Erasmus Darwin, F.R.S. (1731—1802), probably achieved more in a greater range of intellectual disciplines than anyone since his time.

He also had the misfortune to possess the same surname as his grandson Charles, with the result that Erasmus’s own illuminating exposition of biological evolution (as we now call it) is difficult to discern behind the glare created by Charles’s shining light
