It contextualises Du Toit?s work within a particularly formative period of South African science, from the paleoanthropological discoveries that sparked debates about the origins of humankind to Jan Smuts? own theory of holism. Beyond South African scientific discoveries, the book sets Du Toit?s work against a backdrop of ideological struggles over space, both domestically in terms of segregation and nationalism, as well as internationally as South Africa sought to assert its position within the Commonwealth. These debates were embodied by Du Toit?s work on the theory of continental drift, which put Africa ? and South Africa ? at the centre geologically and geographically. The author also focuses on the divisions in geology caused by drift theory, tracing the vigorous intellectual debate and dissent indicative of the ideological milieu within which scientific thought is constructed. It traces the history of continental drift from its inception in the nineteenth century and later work of Alfred Wegener, which was both elaborated upon and substantiated by Du Toit. The study further focuses on Du Toit?s research on continental drift in South African and South America, and the geological, fossil and climatological evidence used to bolster this theory. . 410 0$aCambridge Imperial and Post-Colonial Studies,$x2635-1641 606 $aScience$xHistory 606 $aAfrica, Sub-Saharan$xHistory 606 $aImperialism 606 $aIntellectual life$xHistory 606 $aHistory of Science 606 $aHistory of Sub-Saharan Africa 606 $aImperialism and Colonialism 606 $aIntellectual History 615 0$aScience$xHistory. 615 0$aAfrica, Sub-Saharan$xHistory. 615 0$aImperialism. 615 0$aIntellectual life$xHistory. 615 14$aHistory of Science. 615 24$aHistory of Sub-Saharan Africa. 615 24$aImperialism and Colonialism. 615 24$aIntellectual History. 676 $a016.55113 676 $a968.03 700 $aChetty$b Suryakanthie$01216698 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910483591203321 996 $aAfrica forms the key$92813074 997 $aUNINA
