LES offres DIFFÉRENTES FORMES DE FLEURS SUR PLANTES DE LA MÊME ESPÈCE 1892 CHARLES DARWIN

Listing note: Second edition of Darwins second major work following the publication of Origin of the Species in 1859. The Descent of Man was the first work to use the word evolution, preceding its use in the sixth edition of Origin of Species by a year, and it expands upon the theories of selection and evolution proposed in Origin of Species. In Descent, Darwin puts forth a new theory of sexual selection, explaining how it differs from and works alongside natural selection. This volume discusses how evolutionary processes apply to humankind, drawing in concepts from evolutionary psychology and ideas of differing characteristics of anthropologically defined races of people. This work had huge implications for the history of humankind and was met with mixed responses from a society in which conservative religious beliefs could be at odds with scientific advancement, but it went on to become immensely popular.
