Specifically, the book explores the influence of the principle tenets of Darwinism -- such as the theory of evolution, the ape-man theory of human origins, and the principle of sexual selection -- on established transatlantic intellectual traditions and cultural practices. In doing so, it pays particular attention to how Darwinism reconfigured discourses on race, gender, and sexuality in a transnational context. 410 0$aRoutledge research in Atlantic studies ;$v3. 606 $aSocial Darwinism 615 0$aSocial Darwinism. 676 $a306.09182109034 676 $a576.8209 701 $aJones$b Jeannette Eileen$f1970-$01546935 701 $aSharp$b Patrick B.$f1967-$01546936 801 0$bFlBoTFG 801 1$bFlBoTFG 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910778581703321 996 $aDarwin in Atlantic cultures$93802825 997 $aUNINA
