Dunn was one of those proposing theories of social evolution.[2] According to Leslie Hearnshaw, he belonged to the loose school of psychology around W. B. Carpenter.[3] The work Civilisation and Cerebral Development has been discussed as a representative example of the progression of the period from craniometry to conclusions on race.[4] Dunn argued for an environmentalist monogenism.[5] Notes1. ^Roger Cooter, The Cultural Meaning of Popular Science: phrenology and the organization of consent in nineteenth-century Britain (1984), p. 31; [https://books.google.com/books?id=YxKmmMel0W0C&pg=PA31 Google Books]. 2. ^Lee D.
