Disseminating Darwinism: The Role of Place, Race, Religion, and Gender is a book edited by Ronald L. Numbers and John Stenhouse.This innovative collection of original essays focuses on the ways in which geography, gender, race, and religion influenced the reception of Darwinism in the English-speaking world of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The contributions to this volume collectively illustrate the importance of local social, physical, and religious arrangements, while revealing that neither distance from Darwin’s home at Down nor size of community greatly influenced how various regions responded to Darwinism..
