Charles Darwin is credited with transforming the understanding of natural history \u2013 but a new book claims to have found evidence that he stole his Theory of Evolution.<\/p>\n

Written by an experienced criminologist, it argues there are overwhelming similarities between Darwin\u2019s seminal On The Origin Of Species and an earlier work by a naturalist called Patrick Matthew.<\/p>\n

Darwin revolutionised the understanding of the natural world, explaining that, rather than being the result of divine creation, life developed from a common ancestor by gradual evolution.<\/p>\n

In 1859, having observed such creatures as the giant Galapagos tortoise, he published On The Origin Of Species, spelling out the theory of a \u2018Process of Natural Selection\u2019. However, 28 years earlier Matthew had published On Naval Timber And Arboriculture, which expounded similar findings through his theory of the \u2018Natural Process of Selection\u2019.<\/p>\n

Dr Mike Sutton, whose book Science Fraud: Darwin\u2019s Plagiarism Of Patrick Matthew\u2019s Theory is published by Curtis next Saturday, said: \u2018This is the biggest science fraud in history.\u2019<\/p>\n

He highlights similarities between key phrases and explanations and cites letters apparently showing Darwin knew Matthew\u2019s work and covered up his debt to his rival.<\/p>\n

In one, Darwin\u2019s wife admitted to Matthew that evolution was his \u2018original child\u2019, but her husband had nurtured it \u2018like his own\u2019.<\/p>\n
