Abstract

Jāniwarnāma, written by Muḥammad Taqī Anṣārī Kāshānī, has been thought to reflect a Darwinian view of natural evolution. In a recent article Erfan Khosravi correctly argues that this attribution is not justifiable. However, he goes further and claims, that Jāniwarnāma does not presents any view of evolution at all. In this article, first the main sources of Jāniwarnāma will be introduced and then by considering its content, it will be argued that in many parts of the book an evolutionary process akin to views of Lamarck and his followers can readily be found
