Caliban: The Missing Link is a book written by Daniel Wilson and published in 1873. The book explores the concept of evolution and the origins of humanity through the lens of the character Caliban from William Shakespeare’s play The Tempest. Wilson argues that Caliban, a half-human, half-beast creature, represents a missing link in the evolutionary chain between humans and animals. He draws on scientific theories of the time, including Darwin’s theory of natural selection, to support his argument. The book also examines the history of human civilization and the development of language, culture, and religion. Wilson’s work was influential in shaping public opinion on evolution and the relationship between humans and animals in the late 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
