187815656Paris: C. Reinwald 1878. FIRST EDITION IN FRENCH. Woodcut illustrations and tables in text. Original cloth; an excellent copy uncut and unopened. First edition in French of the author’s important work on the adaptation of plants. In these investigations Darwin crosses a “long styled†individual with another long styled flower to produce a comparatively infertile primrose illustrating a degree of sterility within the limits of a single species comparable to that produced in the crossing of distinct species. Darwin’s work on heterostyled plants bears on one of the most difficult points in the statement of the case for evolution the sterility of interspecific crosses and of hybrids. Darwin writes that the time involved in this research gave him more pleasure than almost any other. Freeman 1296. C. Reinwald unknown

"The book in its first edition contains two parts the descent of man itself and selection in relation to sex. The word 'evolution' occurs for the first time in any of Darwin's works on page 2 of the first volume of the first edition that is to say before its appearance in the sixth edition of The Origin of Species in the following year. The last chapter is about sexual selection in relation to man and it ends with the famous peroration about man's lowly origin the wording of which differs slightly in the first edition from that which is usually quoted" Freeman p. 129.<br> <br> "In the Origin Darwin had avoided discussing the place occupied by Homo sapiens in the scheme of natural selection stating only that 'light will be thrown on the origin of man and his history.' Twelve years later he made good his promise with The descent of man in which he compared man's physical and psychological characteristics to similar traits in apes and other animals showing how even man's mind and moral sense could have developed through evolutionary processes. In discussing man's ancestry Darwin did not claim that man was directly descended from apes as we know them today but stated simply that the extinct ancestors of Homo sapiens would have to be classified among the primates; however this statement as misinterpreted by the popular press caused a furor second only to that raised by the Origin" Norman Library. This title created almost as much sensation as his Origin of Species. In it he elaborated further on his views adding sexual selection and using the word 'evolution' for the first time.<br> <br> Milestones of Science 48. Freeman Darwin 937. Garrison-Morton 170.
