About: Civic Biology

An Entity of Type: book, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

A Civic Biology: Presented in Problems (usually referred to as just Civic Biology) was a biology textbook written by George William Hunter, published in 1914. It is the book which the state of Tennessee required high school teachers to use in 1925 and is best known for its section about evolution that was ruled by a local court to be in violation of the state Butler Act. It was for teaching from this textbook that John T. Scopes was brought to trial in Dayton, Tennessee in the Scopes "Monkey" Trial. The views espoused in the book about evolution, race, and eugenics were common to American Progressives (especially in the work of Charles Benedict Davenport, one of the most prominent American biologists of the early 20th century, whom Hunter cites in the book).

  • A Civic Biology: Presented in Problems, généralement appelé Civic Biology, est un manuel de biologie écrit par George William Hunter et publié en 1914, devenu l'ouvrage de référence obligatoire à partir de 1925 pour l'enseignement secondaire de la biologie dans l'État du Tennessee. Il est mieux connu pour son passage sur l'évolution, jugé être en violation du Butler Act, loi du Tennessee interdisant aux enseignants de nier la création de l'humain telle que décrite par la Bible. C'est pour avoir enseigné l'évolution à partir de ce manuel que John T. Scopes est impliqué dans le « procès du singe ». Les points de vue adoptés dans le livre à propos de l'évolution, des races et de l'eugénisme s'inscrivent dans le courant des idées progressistes américaines en vogue au XXe siècle, et en particulier dans la continuité de l'œuvre de Charles Benoît Davenport, scientifique américain leader du mouvement eugéniste aux États-Unis.
