To mark the birthday of the world's most renowned evolutionary biologist, Oxford University Press has reissued the definitive edition of Darwin's classic-a brilliantly entertaining and accessible exploration of human and animal behavior. Renowned psychologist Paul Ekman's edited version of this book is the first to appear the way Darwin ultimately intended, with all of the corrections and additions that were in Darwin's notes for a revision that was never published during his lifetime.

Darwins biological studies on the Beagle are justly famous but he also spent a huge amount of time and effort investigating and documenting the geological formations that he encountered on his journey. This volume brings together his detailed observations on volcanic islands and South America and is still a wonderful sourcebook of material as well as offering further insights into the life and work of a celebrated and meticulous scientist. This is a facsimile reprint of a good quality scan - there may be a few places where very small text is hard to read. The original illustrations and plates...

First published in 1974 as a companion volume to"Darwin on Man"by Howard E. Gruber, Paul Barrett s transcriptions of Darwin s M and N notebooks served to shed new light on the evolutionist s methods and motivation.
According to Stephen Jay Gould in the"New York Times Book Review," Darwin kept these notebooks] primarily in 1838, when he was 29 years old. In them, he recorded his early conviction of evolutionary continuity between humans and all other animals. . . . These notebooks display all the features of humanistic intellect that his detractors denied. We find erudition in his...

Darwin's theory is based on the notion of variation. It argues that the numerous traits and adaptations that differentiate species from each other also explain how species evolved over time and gradually diverged. Variations in organisms are apparent both within domesticated species and within species throughout the natural world. Variations in colors, structures, organs, and physical traits differentiate a multitude of species from one another. Heredity is the mechanism that perpetuates variations, Darwin argues, as traits are passed from parents to offspring. What is important about these...
