Charles Darwin; On the Origin of Species Well-written Manuscript Essay talk or lecture Signed with initials not interpreted entitled "Suppositions concerning the double origin of Man"

26916June 1865. Manuscript Initialled by Author 6pp. 4to two bifoliums good condition. SEE IMAGE FOR FULL TEXT. The essay commences with a reference to Charles Darwin "Origin" having been published a few years before; "I suppose that animal life - supplied and controlled by the spirit of God Genesis I.2 - took its upward course through the Ages developing possibly one from another as Mr Darwin supposes and including all the different forms that are or have been up to the 'man' of the Drift.See Note below re. Pleistocene. I suppose this creature's organism to have been similar to our own and his instinct & organic action and the degree of its development must depend on the nature of an animals organs. I do not suppose that this man was more than an animal - that he had reason or speech- Birds build their nests by instinct; For rest of text see images" Note: A. The talk or lecture is in a flimsy folder on which is an apparent ascription to an "H.Harris" BUT see photograph of the concluding initials not interpreted by me; B. "The image of one page of six is a handwritten letter or manuscript page from June 1865 containing a discussion of mythological and historical theories regarding ancient peoples and their origins. The author speculates on topics such as the origins of amber trade routes the identity of the Finns and other northern tribes as descendants of Tubal Cain and the potential characteristics of the descendants of Cain. The text concludes by acknowledging that these are merely theories subject to change with better information or understanding of 'revelation.'" AI; C."The Middle and Late Pleistocene is arguably the most interesting period in human evolution. This broad period witnessed the evolution of our own lineage as well as that of our sister taxon the Neanderthals and related Denisovans. It is exceptionally rich in both fossil and archaeological remains and uniquely benefits from insights gained through molecular approaches such as paleogenetics and paleoproteomics that are currently not widely applicable in earlier contexts. This wealth of information paints a highly complex picture often described as ‘the Muddle in the Middle’ defying the common adage that ‘more evidence is needed’ to resolve it." See Images total item.

Saru no Saiban: Yusho Reppai. - THE FIRST REPUDIATION OF DARWIN'S THEORY OF EVOLUTION IN JAPANESE

188157971Tokyo Nishimura Tomijiro Fukuda Eizo Meiji 21 1881. 8vo. In the original cloth binding with printed front board depicting a monkey reading a newspaper. Light wear and soiling to extremities and end papers soiled otherwise in fine condition. 285 pp. 3 plates. The rare first Japanese translation of W. P. Lyon's anti-evolutionary text ' Homo versus Darwin'. It constitutes the very first publication in Japanese to reject Darwin's theory. A year after the publication the book was banned for 'corrupting public morals'.The present work is Lyon's reply to the publication of Darwin's The Descent of Man. Here he sees Darwin being charged by Homo of denying him from being a creature made by a God and declaring man to be merely some kind of animal. The author is recorded as being 'Eisa Gurei' Asa Gray but in 1986 a study confirmed the text to be a translation of Lyon's work.'Saru no Saiban' is an important work in the history of the reception of Darwinism in Japan. Darwin's theories had a profound influence on Japan and Japanese culture but in a slightly different way than in the West: Darwinism was marked as social and political principles primarily embraced by social thinkers philosophers and politicians to advocate the superiority of Japanese culture and society and military and not by biologists and zoologists. "It was as if Darwin's famous oceanic journey and the meticulous research into the animal and plant kingdoms that he spent his life undertaking had all been staged as an elaborate excuse for composing a theory whose true object was Victorian society and the fate of the world's modern nations."

Few small library stamps discarded. Also with a contribution by Darwin in the section "Letter to the editor" Darwin responds to an article "Leaves injured at Night by free radiation". James Clerk Maxwell FRS FRSE 13 June 1831 5 November 1879 was a Scottish scientist in the field of mathematical physics. His most notable achievement was to formulate the classical theory of electromagnetic radiation bringing together for the first time electricity magnetism and light as manifestations of the same phenomenon. Maxwell's equations for electromagnetism have been called the "second great unification in physics" after the first one realised by Isaac Newton. With the publication of "A Dynamical Theory of the Electromagnetic Field" in 1865 Maxwell demonstrated that electric and magnetic fields travel through space as waves moving at the speed of light. Maxwell proposed that light is an undulation in the same medium that is the cause of electric and magnetic phenomena. The unification of light and electrical phenomena led to the prediction of the existence of radio waves. Maxwell helped develop the MaxwellBoltzmann distribution a statistical means of describing aspects of the kinetic theory of gases. He is also known for presenting the first durable colour photograph in 1861 and for his foundational work on analysing the rigidity of rod-and-joint frameworks trusses like those in many bridges. His discoveries helped usher in the era of modern physics laying the foundation for such fields as special relativity and quantum mechanics. Many physicists regard Maxwell as the 19th-century scientist having the greatest influence on 20th-century physics. His contributions to the science are considered by many to be of the same magnitude as those of Isaac Newton and Albert Einstein. In the millennium poll a survey of the 100 most prominent physicists Maxwell was voted the third greatest physicist of all time behind only Newton and Einstein. On the centenary of Maxwell's birthday Einstein described Maxwell's work as the "most profound and the most fruitful that physics has experienced since the time of Newton". Wikipedia hardcover
