Darwin's Screens addresses a major gap in film scholarship - the
key influence of Charles Darwin's theories on the history of the
cinema. Much has been written on the effect of other great thinkers
such as Freud and Marx but very little on the important role played
by Darwinian ideas on the evolution of the newest art form of the
twentieth century. Creed argues that Darwinian ideas influenced the
evolution of early film genres such as horror, the detective film,
science fiction, film noir and the musical. Her study draws on
Darwin's theories of sexual selection, deep time and
transformation, and on emotions, death, and the meaning of human
and animal in order to rethink some of the canonical arguments of
film and cinema studies.
