Описание: In 1876, the renowned spirit-medium, Henry Slade, was the focus of a bizarre courtroom trial in London brought by one of Thomas Henry Huxley’s zoology students – the first time a scientist had prosecuted a “psychic” in a court of law for conducting fraudulent “experiments” in the paranormal. England’s two greatest naturalists – Charles Darwin and Alfred Russel Wallace – took opposing sides when the “supernatural” went on trial. Richard Milner’s scholarly sleuthing uncovers this forgotten episode in the history of science, and offers entertaining insights into the personalities and beliefs of the co-founders of evolutionary biology. This was the third Wallace Lecture of the A. R. Wallace Memorial Fund (https://wallacefund.myspecies.info/). It took place at the Natural History Museum, London, in July 2015.
