Charles Clement Coe

Charles Clement Coe (1830-1921) was an English Unitarian minister and writer.[1]

Coe was born in King's Lynn and educated at Manchester College, Oxford. He was President of the Leicester Literary and Philosophical Society (1862-1863) and was Minister of the Unitarian Great Meeting chapel in Bond Street, Leicester. He is most well known for his large volume, Nature Versus Natural Selection: An Essay on Organic Evolution (1895). Coe defended evolution but rejected natural selection.[2][3] The biologist J. Arthur Thomson gave the book a positive review, commenting that it is a very interesting critique of natural selection written with much skill.[4]
