Overview

Darwin on Trial at the Old Bailey, by Democritus offers a fascinating glimpse into the intersection of science, law, and public opinion in late 19th-century Britain. This unique work, penned under the pseudonym ""Democritus,"" explores the implications of Darwin's theory of evolution within the framework of the British legal system. Through a fictionalized account of a trial at the Old Bailey, the authors, F Raymond Coulson and George Astor Singer, delve into the potential societal and moral consequences of embracing evolutionary principles.
