Place: CA-Evolution Valley

Evolution Valley, Creek, Lake, Peaks (Mt Goddard)

(Long, Lat)

Description:
Theodore S. Solomons, in July, 1895, named the peaks at the head of what was then called “The Middle Fork of the South Fork of the San Joaquin River” for Darwin, Wallace, Huxley, Haeckel, Spencer, and Fiske—the “Evolution” group of philosophers. He called the lake at the foot of Mount Darwin, Evolution Lake. The name was naturally extended to the creek, and the mountains are often spoken of as the Evolution Group. (T. S. Solomons.)
