''Lincoln and Darwin: Shared Visions of Race, Science, and Religion'' is a 2010 book by James Lander about the lives and views of Abraham Lincoln and Charles Darwin. ==Overview== Abraham Lincoln and Charles Darwin were born on the same day, February 12, 1809; both lost their mother at a young age; and despite their differences in upbringing both men saw themselves as autodidacts.〔 Lander argues that they also shared an interest in science and a skeptical approach to religion.〔 Darwin closely followed the events of the American Civil War and wanted Lincoln and the Union to prevail, but it is unlikely that Lincoln read Darwin's work.〔 ''Lincoln and Darwin'' is structured as a series of alternating narratives concerning each man's interactions with the events and discoveries of the mid-19th century.〔 Lander explores similarities in the intellectual development, concerns and impacts of Abraham Lincoln and Charles Darwin, focusing in particular on the issue of slavery in the United States, which both men influentially opposed.〔 Lander's broader argument is that Lincoln and Darwin shared the same outlook on the central issues of race, science and religion. He also looks at the relationship between science and race in the 19th century United States, and the emergence and influence of scientific racism.〔 Lander situates Lincoln and Darwin against their respective opponents: Stephen A. Douglas, Lincoln's rival in Illinois politics, and Louis Agassiz, an advocate of polygenism.〔
