Natural history gave birth to biological science and remains crucial to its development. It is the continued accurate observation of living things that raises the relevant questions that laboratory science and mathematical reasoning need to address. Consequently our minds are not produced in isolation and our mental activities are not simply the products of biological individuality. Darwin was a great naturalist and it was his influence together with a few others that transformed amateur natural history into the professional discipline of biology. Darwin, with a similar exceptional degree of detachment to that of Freud, was able to view all species, including homo sapiens, as enabled by, and limited by, their evolved, inherent, specific characteristics. Trotter was very aware of our innate tendency to cluster tribe-like around any intellectual totem and he included "Darwinism" as the scriptural basis of a new herd.
