Fascinating!
Our pal and yours, Nick Redfern, has posted a link on his There's Something in the Woods blog to a brief ScienceDaily.com article that focuses on the topic of Darwin and Werewolves.
How are they linked, you ask?
This piece focuses on an upcoming thesis to be delivered by Brian Regal, who is the assistant professor of the history of science at Kean University in Union, New Jersey. The article reads, in part:
From the late 19th century onwards, stories of werewolf encounters tailed away significantly, says Regal. “The spread of the idea of evolution helped kill off the werewolf because a canid-human hybrid makes no sense from an evolutionary point of view,” he says. “The ape-human hybrid, however, is not only evolutionarily acceptable, it is the basis of human evolution.”
Do yourself a favor and check it out. I think he is onto something. Share your opinions below!
