Reviews
'Hesketh does an effective job of summarizing current historical thought on the Oxford debate. Of Apes and Ancestors serves as a welcome primer.' -- Richard Bellon ISIS vol 101:04:10
'Hesketh does an effective job of summarizing current historical thought on the Oxford debate. Of Apes and Ancestors serves as a welcome primer.' -- Richard Bellon ISIS vol 101:04:10 'Of Apes and Ancestors is a thought-provoking account of the Oxford debate. It would be particularly valuable at the undergraduate level, where it would serve as an engaging introduction to Charles Darwin, his theory of evolution, and the controversy it created in mid-nineteenth-century England.' -- Todd Webb, Canadian Journal of History: Winter 2010

It might usefully provoke them to think about the relationship between the present and the past, about the practice of history, and about the cultural role of the historian.' -- Piers J. Hale, Victorian Review, vol 37:01:2011 'Ian Hesketh has given us a handy treatment of the well-known Oxford debate... He has gathered everything needed for a more balanced view of events into one convenient little volume.' -- Frederick Gregory Journal History and Philosophy of the Life Sciences; vol 33:03:2011
