“It may be thought almost paradoxical that writers who are most in favour of transmutation”
Source: The Geological Evidences of the Antiquity of Man (1863), Ch.20, p. 405
Context: It may be thought almost paradoxical that writers who are most in favour of transmutation (Mr. C. Darwin and Dr. J. Hooker, for example) are nevertheless among those who are most cautious, and one would say timid, in their mode of espousing the doctrine of progression; while, on the other hand, the most zealous advocates of progression are oftener than not very vehement opponents of transmutation.
