Mike Sutton

Dr Mike Sutton is a notable alumnus, has a first degree in law and PhD in criminology from the University of Central Lancashire. He was for 14 years a senior criminologist at the British Home Office, Queen Anne's Gate. In 2001, he became Reader in Criminology at Nottingham Trent University, where he founded the 'Centre for Reduction of Bias, Prejudice and Hate Crime'. He is co-owner and joint founder of the Internet Journal of Criminology. In 1999, Mike won the British Journal of Criminology Prize for his published research on hackers. Mike is the originator of the Market Reduction Approach to Theft, the Supermyth concept and the IDD research method. In 2014, he used the BigData-IDD method to find books, which originally bust the 155-year-old supermyth started by Darwin that no naturalist known to him had read Patrick Matthew's prior publication of the full theory of natural selection. Mike uniquely discovered seven naturalists had cited Matthew's book before 1858. Darwin knew four and three played major roles at the epicentre of influence on Darwin's pre-1858 work on natural selection. Moreover, one (Selby) was the editor of the journal that published Alfred Russell Wallace's Sarawak paper on evolution by natural selection.

Following the publication of 'Nullius in Verba: Darwin's greatest secret' in 2014 and 2016 and his latest 2022 book on the topic (with even more newly unearthed data) "Science Fraud: Darwin's plagiarism of Patrick Matthew's theory (Curtis Press), the history of scientific discovery now has a number of original bombshell new discoveries that rewrite the history of the origination of the theory of evolution by natural selection:

1. Scientists and historians can no longer claim - as they did before Sutton's research on the topic was published - that Patrick Matthew's prior published conception of macroevolution by natural selection was unread by any naturalists before Darwin and Wallace replicated it. Because Sutton originally discovered seven who cited Matthew's (1831) book that contains it in the pre-1859 literature. And Darwin and Wallace, and their influencers, knew four of them well. Hence it is most significantly newly discovered and 100 per cent proven that routes of potential knowledge contamination from Matthew's (1831) book into the pre-1858 minds of Darwin and Wallace most certainly do exist. The date evidence of this newly discovered publication record now debunks the old Darwinite claim that Darwin's notebooks and private essays prove he independently discovered natural selection.

2. Darwinites can no longer claim that Darwin was an honest scientist. Because it is proven that from 1860 onward, following information provided by Matthew himself about naturalists who read it, that Darwin lied about the prior readership of Matthew's book and the original ideas in it. Darwin told at least seven other lies in order to convince the scientific community that he independently conceived the idea of natural selection.

3. It can no longer be claimed that Wallace was an honest scientist. Because Sutton originally discovered that Wallace edited one of his letters in his autobiography to conceal his claim that he thought he was owed money and favours by Darwin and his associates for cooperating with the presentation of his replication of the concept of natural selection alongside that of Darwin in 1858. A route, via Selby, for Matthewian knowledge contamination of Wallace is also newly identified from Sutton's research.

4. Darwinites can no longer claim that Matthew's conception of natural selection was contained solely in the appendix of his book. Sutton reveals exactly how much is actually contained in the main body of Matthew's book and that Darwin lied when he wrote that Matthew's ideas were solely contained in the appendix. Because Matthew referred him to some of the relevant text from the main body of his book and Darwin wrote to admit the fact to Joseph Hooker.

5. Darwinites should no longer claim that Matthew never understood what he conceived on the grounds that he never shouted about it from the rooftops. Because Sutton shows how the first half of the 19th century was governed by laws and conventions that forbade anyone from doing such a thing, and others from discussing it. Moreover, Matthew told Darwin as much when he explained his book was banned from Perth public library in Scotland and that an eminent naturalist could not teach Matthew's breakthrough for fear of pillory punishment.
