History remembers James Hinton as a successful surgeon and author
of books and articles on physiology and ethics. A gifted thinker
and communicator, Hinton was well placed to address the
relationship between science and religion in an age when the two
were pitted against each other. First published in 1859, the same
year as the Origin of Species, Man and His Dwelling Place takes an
ambitiously broad view of the human condition, addressing difficult
topics from science, religion, philosophy and ethics. Hinton's
arguments against outdated ways of thinking and his approach to
human nature were revolutionary, and he took pains to address
readers' doubts in a series of question-and-answer dialogues at the
end of the book. Hinton's impassioned plea for a bolder spirit of
enquiry to better interpret human existence assures this book an
important place in the history of science and the understanding of
Darwin's intellectual context.
