Robert Knox Bücher
Robert Knox war ein schottischer Anatom und Zoologe, der Anatomievorlesungen hielt und die Theorie der transzendentalen Anatomie einführte. Während seine frühe Karriere von solchen akademischen Bestrebungen geprägt war, ist sein Vermächtnis heute vor allem mit seiner kontroversen Beteiligung an der Beschaffung von Leichen für Sektionen verbunden, was nach den Morden von Burke und Hare schließlich zu seinem beruflichen Niedergang führte. Trotz eines späteren Umzugs nach London und einer Periode, die der theoretischen Auseinandersetzung mit Evolution und Ethnologie gewidmet war, beschädigten seine Arbeiten auf letzterem Gebiet seinen Ruf weiter und überschatteten seine Beiträge zur Evolutionstheorie.
