Evolution of Inanimate Objects

Psychiatrist Harry Karlinsky uncovers a remarkable discovery while researching at an Ontario asylum: a mysterious connection to Charles Darwin's family. Through letters, photographs, and historical documents, this book reconstructs the life of Thomas Darwin, the youngest of Charles Darwin's eleven children, and his unusual obsession with extending evolutionary theory to inanimate objects. A fascinating exploration of science, family legacy, and the boundaries of Darwinian thought in the nineteenth century.
