Paper Summary:
This paper examines how Robert Louis Stevenson's "The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde" was first published in 1886 and how a popular belief in evolution had been growing through much of that century, and had been formalized by Charles Robert Darwin in his 1859 publication, "Origin of Species" ("Evolution"). This paper argues that Darwinism (as it came to be known) had a great influence on Stevenson, and that his character Hyde represents primitive man, or even the primates from which man evolved.More papers on Robert Louis Stevenson and Darwinism:
