Some Confederate generals talk about Charles Darwin. General Pickett says that he refuses to believe that man descended from apes. Darwin's "The Descent of Man," which theorizes on the ape-like origins of the human species, was published in 1871. "On the Origin of Species," published in 1859, caused considerable scientific and religious debate in the early 1860s. Though the book explicitly avoided human evolution, the debate surrounding it did not. In 1863, educated people likely would have known about the controversy.
