PAN Guang-dan and Evolutionism of China

Pan Guang-dan was an important spreader and expander to the evolutionism in modern China. He had introduced the idea of Darwin about the decent and evolution of human by translating the books of evolution. He had set out his new understanding about the questions of evolution and development of human by expatiating the concept of evolution.
