Als Charles Darwin am 27. Dezember 1831 mit der Beagle von Plymouth aus in See stach, hockte er in einer winzigen Achterkajte, die bis unter die Decke voll gestopft war mit Probenbehltern, Chemikalien, Seziergert, Mikroskop, Geologenhammer und Bchern. Darwin war damals gerade 22 Jahre alt: ein begeisterter Sammler von Kfern mit einem leidenschaftlichen Interesse fr die Naturwissenschaften, der ein bisschen Medizin und Theologie studiert hatte und ansonsten noch recht unschlssig war, was er mit seinem Leben anstellen sollte. Innerhalb von fnf Jahren umrundete Darwin die Welt, studierte die...

First published in 1846, Darwin's Geological Observations made up the third part of his memoir of his voyage on the Beagle during the years 1832 1836.

It discusses South America's geological and seismic history, the mineral content of lava and granite, and the deformation of metamorphic rock. Separate chapters...

Darwin's book introduced the scientific theory that populations evolve over the course of generations through a process of natural selection. It presented a body of evidence that the diversity of...

"My father's autobiographical recollections were written for his children, and written without any thought that they would ever be published. To many this may seem an impossibility; but those who knew my father will understand how it was not only possible, but natural. The autobiography bears the heading 'Recollections of the Development of my Mind and Character, ' and end with the following note: "- Aug. 3, 1876. This sketch of my life was begun about May 28th at Hopedene (Mr. Hensleigh Wedgwood's house in Surrey.), and since then I have written for nearly an hour on most afternoons." It...

Classic from the year 2008 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, language: English, abstract: I will here give a brief sketch of the progress of opinion on the Origin of Species. Until recently the great majority of naturalists believed that species were immutable productions, and had been separately created. This view has been ably maintained by many authors. Some few naturalists, on the other hand, have believed that species undergo modification, and that the existing forms of life are the descendants by true generation of pre existing forms. Passing over...
