Book excerpt: Excerpt from Back to Methuselah: A Metabiological Pentateuch I could be an Evolutionist and not a neo-darwinian, or why I habitually derided neo-darwinism as a ghastly idiocy, and would fall on its professors slaughterously in public discussions. It was in the hope of making me clear the matter up that the Fabian Society, which was then organizing a series of lectures on Prophets of the Nineteenth Century, asked me to deliver a lecture on the prophet Darwin. I did so; and scraps of that lecture, which was never published, variegate these pages. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
