Ahmed -
See: Najm A. Bezirgan "The Islamic World" pp. 375-387 in
T. F. Glick, (ed). The Comparative Reception of Darwinism.
Univ of Texas Press, 1974.
I know this has been reprinted by someone else, possibly U
Chicago press. THe chapter is full of primary references to Arabic
sources.
Hope this helps.
