I've been wondering on something, what if during the Medieval Ages, someone of the Arab scholars would have written a work similar to Darwin's "On the Origin of Species"? I mean, the Arabs seafarers did travel a lot in the Indian Ocean, they could see different faunas at the various places, I'd think it's not too far fetched that something amounting to Darwin's work could have been written there. The question is, what would have been the consequences of this, both for the Islamic world and for the West?
