  1. Theistic evolution and evolutionary ethics: Henry Fairfield Osborn and Huxley’s legacy.David Ceccarelli - 2021 - History and Philosophy of the Life Sciences 43 (4):1-25.
    Scholars have often considered evolutionary social theories a product of Positivist scientism and the naturalization of ethics. Yet the theistic foundations of many evolutionary theories proposed between the nineteenth and the twentieth centuries bolstered the belief that following natural laws was morally desirable, if not vital, to guaranteeing social and moral progress.

Particularly during the (...)

By the 1890s, two theories garnered special prominence; the tritubercular theory and the concrescence theory. The tritubercular theory was proposed by Edward Drinker Cope in 1883, and later expanded by Henry Fairfield Osborn in 1888, while the concrescence theory was developed by Carl Röse in 1892. (...)
