Dempster's (1996) Earlier Draft of His Chapter 7: 'Charles Darwin's Predecessors'




From the Dempster Family Archive.

The following 13 images are page scans from loose pages that essentially comprise a good earlier draft of Chapter Seven of Dempster's (1996) Evolutionary Concepts in the 19th Century. Anyone comparing this draft with the final product might smile at the typical diplomacy that characterised how Dempster toned his true feelings down between drafts and print. In the final paragraph of Chapter 7 of his published book gone are the harsh words of telling speculation about there being no evidence of Darwin being pretty dim whilst studying at Edinburgh University. 

This material, from the Dempster Private Family Archive, is released into the public domain because it might be of profound interest to any Darwin scholars who have not yet read any of Dempster's superb evidence-led criticism of Darwin's dual lack of originality and abundance of sly self-celebratory dishonesty. Moreover, I expect it may be of value to those interested in studying how Dempster felt compelled to make his criticisms of Darwin more palatable to the scientific mainstream, which some call the "scientific establishment".


















Dempster's Letter to New Scientist about Darwin's Apparent Belief in "the Creator"


A designer or a "Creator", what is the difference? So asked Jim Dempster in 1996.

The clipping below is from the Dempster family archive:New Scientist 12th October 1996.

Jim Dempster proves that Darwin apparently believed in a "Creator". Dempster then used that observation to make the point that that this meant Darwin apparently believed in "intelligent design".

Dempster's Letter to the Times about Dennett and Darwin's Dangerous Idea


This clipping below is from the Dempster family archive. There is no date on it. It is from the letters page of the Sunday Times.

In the letter, below, Jim Dempster mocks a review of Daniel Dennett's book "Darwin's Dangerous Idea' for his ill-informed infatuation with Charles Darwin.

The date of the letter will most certainly have been 1996, because that is the year Dennett's book was first published.





W J Dempster: on 'The Consequences of Punctuated Equilibrium'

The following pages are scanned from the private family archive of the Dempster family. They were first made available to me today (30th March 2016). The scanned text comprises two pages of typed notes and an article on the topic of  Matthew's original conception of the role played by "punctuated equilibrium" in Matthew's original and full hypotheses of macro-evolution by natural selection.

PLEASE NOTE Copyright for the images on this blog post belongs to Soula Dempster (all UK, USA and international rights reserved).

W. J. - (William James)  "Jim" Dempster wrote three books on the history of discovery of natural selection. You can read more about his life and work in science, medicine and surgery here.

The subject of this blog post is Dempster's unpublished draft paper, in the form of an 11 page essay entitled: "The Consequences of Punctuated Equilibrium" . The paper bears no date, However, it was definitely written after the 1996 publication of his second book on Matthew (Dempster, W. J 1996 Evolutionary Concepts in the Nineteenth Century. Edinburgh. The Pentland Press. Because it references that book. 

The  essay appears to be a possible draft forerunner to Chapter 6, which is called The Consequences of Punctuated Equilibria, of Dempster's third book on the topic of the history of the discovery of natural selection:  Dempster, W. J. (2005) The Illustrious Hunter and the Darwins. Sussex. Book Guild Publishing.'  Alternatively, it may be a later - "improved" - version of the same. Consequently, at the time of writing, we have no idea whether this paper was intended for publication as a paper or book chapter, or merely written as a private essay. However, it is described as an "article" in Dempster's letter 5 to Ian Hardie in the "Wavertree Letters" on this blogsite.

Readers should bear in mind that what they are looking at when reading the scanned pages of Dempster's essay is that the work may have been "in progress", for private circulation among peers for comments, or else merely intended for private scholarship purposes. The fact that the last sentence of the first of two pages attached to this essay says: "Now read chapter 7 of my book" suggests that Dempster's text in this blog post is an expanded version of his 2005 published Chapter 6. Moreover, unlike the 2005 Chapter Six, from which it appears to have evolved, this essay refers to "Darwinists", which is not a tone that is characteristic of Dempster's published work, Furthermore, it  harshly notes the bias and ignorance of Darwinists about Matthew's and Darwin's work in this precise area. Most importantly, Dempster's essay deals with the fact that Darwin (1859), but not Matthew (1831), included and embraced the notion of a "creator" at work in the natural process of selection. I am delighted to learn that Dempster noted this fact - ignored by Biased Darwin scholars - because it is one that I emphasise in my book (Sutton 2014).

The following two typed pages were attached to the draft article.





- Dempster's Unpublished Essay - 












Any commentary, in the comments section below, on Dempster's unpublished essay and/or my observations and conjectures regarding it is warmly welcomed.

Jim Dempster's Handwritten Notes on Darwin's Sly Deceptions in the Origin of Species

Dempster (1985) reasoned with a multitude of his own evidence that Patrick Matthew should be hailed as the true discoverer of natural selection, simply because he most certainly did more than merely enunciate it, he worked it out and published it in detail as a complex and fully comprehensive law of nature. Moreover, Matthew got it right and Darwin wrong when it came to comprehending the impact of geological disasters on species extinction and emergence. Yet, from the third edition of the Origin onwards, Darwin (1861), a follower of Lyell’s erroneous uniformitarianism, jumped at the chance to denigrate Matthew by slyly inferring that he was a (then to be fashionably ridiculed) catastrophist. The following is from Darwin's 1861 Third Edition of the Origin of Species (p. xv):

The differences of Mr. Matthew's view from mine are not of much importance: he seems to consider that the world was nearly depopulated at successive periods, and then re stocked; and he gives, as an alternative, that new forms may be generated “without the presence of any mould or germ of former aggregates,” I am not sure that I understand some passages; but it seems that he attributes much influence to the direct action of the conditions of life. He clearly saw however the full force of the principle of natural selection.'

Dempster (1996) made this part of Darwin's cleverly subtle muck slinging injustice abundantly clear, but if you can find a Darwinist, or any other biologist, admitting as much and citing Dempster then you've found one more than I have. In effect, Darwin was signifying Matthew as among all the outdated believers in the miracle of Noah's Ark! And yet Matthew believed in no such thing. Matthew simply explained natural selection in terms of what is today called 'Punctuated Equilibrium' – which is, then, essentially Matthew’s discovery. Punctuated Equilibrium is accepted science today. However, Dempster (1995; 2005) noted that its Darwinist purveyors sought to keep the originator of that theory buried in footnote oblivion. Rampino (2011) explains some of the detail.

Dempster wrote that there is no need to accuse Darwin of plagiarising the work of Patrick Matthew because it is already well established that he acted badly in not citing his influencers in the first edition and other editions of the Origin of Species (Dempster, 1983 p. 64):

‘Patrick Matthew and Robert Chambers carried out their great tasks single- handed. Without the help on the one hand of his great wealth and on the other of Hooker, Lyell, Lubbock, Blyth, Wallace and many others, it is doubtful whether Darwin, single-handed, could have avoided making a botch of his theory or even whether he could have, had the Origin published. Even so, in spite of all the outside help, he retreated more and more towards Lamarckism.

There is no need to charge Darwin with plagiarism. His scholarship and integrity were at fault in not providing all his references in the Origin: he had after 1859 another twenty years in which to do so. What one can say is that denigration of Patrick Matthew was unwarrantable and inexcusable.’

Darwinist muck-slinging began after Darwin capitulated to Matthew in the Gardener's Chronicle of 1860

The image below was kindly sent to me by Jim Dempster's daughter Soula Dempster. The red handwriting is her father's. He annotated a copy of the historical sketch in Darwin's Origin of Species, Dempster's copy of the sketch is from the 1872 edition but its the same as that fistpubihed in 1861 from the third edition of the Origin onwards:


Dempster's notes on Darwin's sly Deceptions in the Origin of Species 

Note where Dempster writes "½ sentence missing!". Dempster has spotted that Darwin slyly misled his readers that Matthew believed something, which the facts prove Matthew clearly did not. Note that Dempster writes: "Matthew rejects this in the missing part!"

Because Darwin slyy concealed the context and completeness of Matthew's work, I respectfully disagree with Dempster's view that there is no need to accuse of Darwin of plagiarism. I think that there most certainly is a need to directly name Darwin as a plagiariser, and to do so in no uncertain terms, because, by lying, wriggling, plagiarising  science fraud - by glory theft necessity after 1860 (see Sutton 2016)- Darwin showed only a half a sentence of Matthew's work in order to so deliberately mislead his readership into thinking Matthew simply believed that the population of life was somehow miraculously "re-stocked". 


What matthew actually wrote:

Page 383 of  Matthew (1831) 'On Naval Timber and Arboriculture'
Note - most importantly - Matthew's entire first paragraph on page 383 of his book is one long sentence. The first eight words that darwin left out of his explanation of Matthew's original conception of natural selection are crucial to Darwin's devious dishonest portrayal of Matthew as believing only that some form of complex species creation occurred on Earth after a catastrophic extinction event. 

Matthew wrote: 


So what was the "above" that Darwin concealed in his dishonest portrayal? Amongst a great wealth of additional text, but immediately above page 383, -  it is this:

Matthew (1831) p. 381


Readers should note also that Dempster's red ink annotations note that it is very important how Matthew's ideas are different to those of Darwin "Oh yes they are!"  also that  Dempster notes that it is untrue "Not true" that Matthew's original conception of natural selection was contained in a book of an unrelated title and solely in the scattered pages of the book's appendix.  Those Darwinist myths are completely burst - with hard disconfirming evidence - in  my 2014 book "Nullius in Verba: Darwin's greatest secret", which - in addition - contains a wealth of original and newly discovered hard and independently verifiable facts that overturn the old paradigm that no one known to Darwin or Wallace read Matthew's original ideas before each replicated them, without citing Matthew - and then excused that unscholarly behaviour by claiming (fallaciously) - and by outright proven lying in Darwin's case - that none read those ideas before 1860. My book is dedicated to Jim Dempster.

Nottingham Post Story on the New Data

Jeremy Lewis: Feature writer, Nottingham Post


Today the Nottinghamshire Post feature writer Jeremy Lewis reported on the significance of the enormity of the 2014 bombshell discoveries about the Matthewian 'knowledge contamination' of Darwin's and Wallace's replications of his prior-published theory.

Why the Dundee Courier is the ideal newspaper to print the truth about Patrick Matthew and Charles Darwin



Today the Scottish newspaper the Dundee Courier reports on the discovery of Charles Darwin's plagiarism of Patrick Matthew's prior-published discovery - and cites my BestThinking book that first broke the news to the World: Read the story in the Dundee Courier here   .
Mike Alexander is the first journalist I've encountered who actually admits it is a complex topic, which journalists need to get to grips with in order to get the "real facts" straight. He kept asking me (several emails between us and a long phone call) for loads of cast iron proof from the actual published 19th century publication record, and so I just kept on sending it. Now that's old-school journalistic integrity. I hope Michael Alexander goes far. I expect he will.
Most Interestingly, Alexander informed me that the Dundee Courier swallowed up the old Dundee Advertiser. Notably, it was in the latter newspaper that published many of Matthew's important letters in the 19th century.

Knowledge Contamination: A Hammer for the Scots!

Building on the New Data first revealed in my Best Thinking book,Nullius in Verba    and further ideas first formulated in a Best Thinking blog post in Jan 2015, my very latest peer reviewed journal article was published on the topic yesterday.
On Knowledge Contamination: New Data Challenges Claims of Darwin’s and Wallace’s Independent Conceptions of Matthew’s Prior-Published Hypothesis. Here.

In this new article, in the philosophy of science journal:Philosophy Aspects of Origin, I prove, amongst many other things, that rather than prove his independent conception of Matthew's original ideas and examples, Darwin's private correspondence, notebooks and private essays all serve to incriminate him as a lying plagiarizing science fraudster by glory theft of Patrick Matthew's prior published hypothesis of the "natural process of selection".
I am presenting this paper on thursday 17th March 2016, next week, at the James Hutton Institute in Scotland. Details here.   
My hammering conclusion - which is to be reported in the Scottish press next week - is that Scotland has been punterized by 155 years of English lies, fallacies and myths that underpin the current paradigm of Darwin's and Wallace's independent conceptions of Matthew's prior-published hypothesis.

Scotland has an unrecognised science hero.

The Carse of Gowrie
Matthew, like many influential and original thinking Scots, hailed from the fertile lands of the beautiful Carse of Gowrie. Punterised by Darwin's 100 per cent proven lies    into believing Matthew is relatively insignificant in the story of the discovery of natural selection, the Scots demolished his manor house in the 1980s.

That act of unintentional cultural vandalism raised to the ground their opportunity to use it and its ancient orchards as a major heritage site for cultural and economic sustainability. However, Matthew's monumental giant redwood trees    remain in the area. Today, in the interests of economic and cultural sustainability, it is essential that Scotland places protection orders on these historic Matthew Trees.
Scots need to read the new data and weigh its significance for themselves.
Fiona Ross, chair of The Carse of Gowrie Sustainability Group which has organised next Thursday’s lecture informs Scotland that a dream of Matthew’s descendants would be to see his portrait on the back of a Scottish £10 note.

A Polemic: Most People are Stupid Cowards!

I wish to share with you, dear reader, my thoughts on a very fair review of my book Nulliuis in Verba: Darwin's greatest secret, by former Assistant State Attorney, Professor George R Dekle.

Please Note: The link to Professor Dekle's review, and my reply to his review, is here   .

My reply On Amazon.com to George R. Dekle (Mar 9, 2016 1:07:24 AM PST)

Dr Mike Sutton says:

Nullius in Verba
George - I think that's a very fair and honest and well-balanced review. Thank you for buying and reading my book and for taking the trouble to review it. I see from your profile that you are an experienced attorney - but now a professor. My first degree was in law and I have for some time now wondered how a jury might weigh the evidence for the case I make in my book that Darwin more likely than not knew of Matthew's original prior published ideas on natural selection and his original explanatory analogies before he replicated them without citing Matthew.
In my book I argue that it seems more likely than not Darwin did read Matthew's (1831) book before 1858 on the evidence of who it is newly discovered (who Darwin and Wallace knew - who influenced them) did read it before he and Wallace replicated the original ideas in it without citing Matthew. I then prove Darwin lied in 1860 when he wrote the very opposite to what Matthew informed him about the prior readership of his book (that Loudon reviewed it, that another naturalist feared pillory punishment were he to teach the original ideas on natural slection it, and that Perth Public Library banned it) by claiming Matthew's original ideas went completely unread until Matthew brought them to Darwin's attention in 1860. As I write in the book, I think that when we add Darwin's weird lack of curiosity about Matthew to the New Data evidence that Darwin's and Wallace's associates and influencers - and their influencers influencers - in fact did read Matthew's book to the fact Darwin then lied about the prior-readership of Matthew's book by other naturalists that a jury would find Darwin guilty - beyond reasonable doubt - of plagiarism science fraud.
Of course, we can't know what a jury would decide, although a televised mock trial would be interesting - and highly entertaining and educational. But one thing is certain, and that is that by so lying (by all rational understanding of what a lie is - i.e. self servingly writing the very opposite to what you have been told) about the prior-readership of Matthew's book, Darwin successfully convinced the world that Matthew is relatively insignificant. That lie has stuck as a great myth. Consequently, the Scots demolished Matthew's house and grubbed up his ancient orchards in the 1980s. Today, they are now chopping down the giant monumental California redwood trees that he planted in 1854. As we can see - polemic or not - the facts prove that Darwin's falsehoods continue to reverberate through time to perpetuate injustice to Scottish cultural heritage and social, economic tourism, educational, historic, and bio-sustainability.
You might be interested to learn that since I published my book, I have originally discovered that John Lindley (who keeps cropping up in the story of Matthew, Darwin and Wallace in my book) is proven to have perpetrated for 13 years a great fraud that he and Lobb were first to introduce, propagate and name (as Wellingtonia) the giant Californian redwoods in Britain. And Lindley was a correspondent of both Darwin and Wallace - and like them he believed in the mutability of species. In 1866 - a year after Lindley's death - his own journal proved Matthew and his son John were in fact first by producing the evidence from a letter Lindley had in possession from before he claimed he and Lobb were first. My website PatrickMatthew.com has all the details (click the Matthew's Redwoods page tab).
Next week, I am giving a public lecture at the James Hutton Institute (and further talks elsewhere in Scotland) on the story. Perhaps it's a polemic - I'm not sure - I suspect it is. Perhaps the facts are presented in a rather overwrought manner - of that I am sure. Regardless, facts are facts. I just want to get them out there and to get people to listen to them - because they are new facts - and weigh them and understand their significance. I know I'm not the best person to convey these facts. Others could do a far better job than I. But it falls to me alone to carry the burden at the time of writing, since I alone discovered them. No others seem willing to put their head above the parapet and point and shout that the kings (Darwin and Wallace) have no clothes. As the fairy story and now this story teach us, that is - to put it polemically - because most people are stupid cowards.
Hopefully, we can save the monumental Matthew trees in the Carse of Gowrie and elsewhere in Perth and Kinross Scotland from further destruction. It's a shame we could not save Patrick Matthew's wonderful old Regency manor house, because it would have made a superb museum to explain to the world how a farmer and politician discovered natural selection. Some of these Matthew Trees are currently under threat from a proposed quarry extension - others have been felled on spurious grounds. It is rather poignant, I think, that it was the initial destruction of giant redwoods in the 19th century that kick-started the national parks movement in the USA.
By the way I just had news from some Scots who went to New Zealand to meet the Matthew descendants there that Errol Jones is alive and well at 101 and is very pleased that her ancestor is beginning to finally get the recognition he deserved in his lifetime.

Rational Veracity Activism

THIS PAGE PROVIDES DETAILS OF MY ENGAGEMENT WITH DARWIN SCHOLARS, AND WITH THE WIDER PUBLIC, TO CONFRONT THEM WITH PROOF OF DARWIN'S LIES ABOUT WHO HE KNEW WHO REALLY DID READ MATTHEW'S ORIGINAL IDEAS BEFORE HE REPLICATED THEM.

Early responses to the discovery of the New Data that dis-confirm "Darwin's and Wallace's independent discovery paradigm" reveal that emotions run high when one's professional and personal identity is wrapped up in the work of a newly proven serial liar and plagiarising science fraudster by glory theft.

  • Exposing George Beccaloni - Curator of the Alfred Wallace Collection of the Natural History Museum, London - for his weird ignorance of the facts he should have known and what they mean, his penning of a sly and dishonestly bogus book review (of my book he later admitted he had never even read!), and strange whining that he is being bullied when cornered with the truth of it all. Here.
  • Dr Mike Weale uses the kind of  "nothing happened" "magical thinking" literal fact denial reasoning explained by Cohen, S. (2001) States of Denial. (pages 104-105), that what amounts to deliberate lying  -  at least by any rational understanding of the meaning of the word - does not amount to lying in the special case of Charles Darwin - Here.
  • I am joined by U.S. Army (retired) Major Howard Minnick (third great grandson of Patrick Matthew) in a homage to Hunter S. Thompson's Gonzo style of journalism.  We deliberately become part of the story about Charles Darwin on the Daily Telegraph blog site. I then report on the story - Here.
  • A Wikipedian, involved in training Wikipedians, is confronted with the fact that Wikipedia editors are systematically deleting the fact Darwin lied about the prior-readership of Matthew's original ideas  - Here.
  • Exposing and challenging in public the ignorance, poor-conduct and uncomfortable cowardice of Professor Nathaniel Comfort:
Having published a public statement on Twitter that my peer reviewed journal paper is "an ignorant piece of crap" Comfort was offered the chance to explain himself and debate with me, on a moderated website, why my original and significant contribution to knowledge in the field - that as opposed to prior knowledge that none read it - that in fact many naturalists (four known to Darwin/Wallace) read Matthew's prior-published discovery of natural selection before Darwin and Wallace replicated without citing Matthew, the foul-penned, and plainly uncomfortable and cowardly when cornered, Comfort responded by blocking me on Twitter - Here

Conversation about facts with a Wikipedian

Last night, on Twitter, I had a conversation with a Wikipedian editor who was involved with Wikipedia training. I informed her of the fact Wikipedian editors are systematically deleting the significant fact that Charles Darwin blatantly lied in 1860 by denying that any naturalists had read Patrick Matthew's full prior-published theory of natural selection before he replicated it without citing Matthew.

Nullius in Verba: The "New Facts" And What They Mean For The History of Discovery of Natural Selection




Conclusion
The travesty is that - having been successfully punterized by the newly proven lies ( http://www.amazon.co.uk/Nulliu... ) of Darwin and his adoring Darwinists into believing Patrick Matthew is irrelevant, the Scots demolished his house and grubbed-up the remains of his orchards in the 1980's. Still punterized, today they are now cutting down the monumental giant redwood trees he planted - the first in Britain.
Patrick Matthew's house at Gourdiehill,: Carse of Gowrie, Scotland,
 Sadly demolished in the 1980's
Those cannily denying the significance of the newly discovered facts that suggest Matthew more than likely did influence both Darwin and Wallace through some kind of 'knowledge contamination' are part of that same Scottish, and wider science history, cultural vandalism problem.
The sooner the facts of Darwin's and Wallace's proven lies (Sutton 2014) are accepted as lies the better for Scottish historical sustainability.
