About Cuthbert Collingwood

Cuthbert Collingwood was an English naturalist, physician, and theologian. He lectured in botany and medicine in Liverpool, served as surgeon‑naturalist on voyages in the China Seas, and published widely on marine zoology. A critic of Charles Darwin’s theory of natural selection, he corresponded with Darwin and Henry Walter Bates and remained aligned with Louis Agassiz’s views. Collingwood was also active in the New Jerusalem Church and wrote theological works seeking to reconcile science and religion. He died in Paris in 1908 and was buried in Nunhead Cemetery, London.
