DCP-LETT-3542

From:
Charles Robert Darwin
To:
Thomas Henry Huxley
Date:
10 May [1862]
Source of text:
Imperial College of Science, Technology and Medicine Archives (Huxley 5: 171)
Summary:

Nearly agrees on contemporaneity, but THH pushes his ideas too far. Would require strong evidence before believing that the so-called Silurian, Devonian, and Carboniferous strata could be contemporaneous. Thinks THH’s case on advancement of organisation is strong. But he should read Bronn, before publishing again, and say more on other side. Cannot help hoping he is not as right as he seems to be.
