Faint small spots of discoloration along the foredge of first 193 pages - does not affect legibility or integrity of the volume. Bumped two lower corners of covers. Bookplate to inside front cover. ; Book is in excellent condition. Volume 2 is concerned with how species inherit particular characteristics Darwin first published his 'provisional hypothesis' of pangenesis. This theory of 'gemmules' was not met with much acceptance and today is not valuable as scientific explanation but it was important in laying down the key questions that needed to be answered regarding the processes of genetic inheritance. Darwin also used volume 2 to challenge the theories of evolution by design expounded by the botanist Asa Gray. Darwin's arguments were some of the very first in a long debate that remains hot today. The work was intended to counter critics of Origin of Species particularly those who questioned the reality of variation and the mechanism of inheritance. It is considered a classic in evolutionary biology providing crucial support for the theory of evolution. It laid groundwork for modern plant and animal breeding and genetics. ; ; 568 pages .</p> Orange Judd & Company hardcover

1860D-1184<p>This is a second U.S. edition but the title page is missing. All other pages are present. Please see the photos for the condition.</p><p>Darwin's theory of natural selection issued a profound challenge to orthodox thought. No being or species has been specifically created; all are locked into a pitiless struggle for existence with extinction looming for those not fitted for the task. Yet The Origin of Species is also a humane and inspirational vision of ecological interrelatedness revealing the complex mutual interdependencies between animal and plant life climate and physical environment and—by implication—within the human world. Written for the general reader in a style that combines the rigor of science with the subtlety of literature The Origin of Species remains one of the founding documents of the modern age.</p> The Home Library hardcover
