1860156978London: John Murray 1860. The Voyage of the Beagle The final definitive text of Darwin's first published book the second edition of his outstanding account of natural history exploration. This botanical and zoological travelogue describes the fieldwork that ultimately led to the publication of On the Origin of Species 1859. "His first published book is undoubtedly the most often read and stands second only to On the Origin of Species as the most often printed. It is an important travel book in its own right and its relation to the background of his evolutionary ideas has often been stressed" Freeman. Darwin noted in his autobiography that "the voyage of the Beagle has been by far the most important event in my life and has determined my whole career. As far as I can judge of myself I worked to the utmost during the voyage from the mere pleasure of investigation and from my strong desire to add a few facts to the great mass of facts in natural science. But I was also ambitious to take a fair place among scientific men. The success of this my first literary child always tickles my vanity more than that of any other books.". This copy has been bound without the half-title. Octavo 190 x 120 mm. Near-contemporary green half calf spine and raised bands decorated in gilt black morocco label lettered in gilt green cloth sides edges sprinkled red green endpapers blue silk bookmarker.

1846NF3922The natural history of these islands is eminently curious and well deserves attention. Most of the organic productions are aboriginal creations found nowhere else; there is even a difference between the inhabitants of the different islands; yet all show a marked relationship of America though separated from that continent by a open space of ocean between 500 and 600 miles in width. The archipelago is a little world within itself or rather a satellite attached to America whence it has derived a few stray colonists and has received the general character of its indigenous productions. Considering the small size of these islands we feel The more astonished at the number of their aboriginal beings and at their confined range. Seeing every height crowned with its crater and the boundaries of most of the lava-streams still distinct we are led to believe that within a period geologically recent the unbroken ocean was here spread out. Hence both in space and time we seem to be brought somewhat near to that great fact Ð that mystery of mysteries Ð the first appearance of new beings on this earth"------Charles Darwin Journal of Researches into the Natural History and Geology of the Countries visited during the Voyage of H.M.S.

Darwin-Online. <br/><br/><em>The exceedingly rare first translation of Darwin's Descent of Man and the first partial translation of Origin of Species constituting the very first translation of any of Darwin's work into Japanese and arguably being the most influential - albeit in a different way than could be expected - of all Darwin-translations. "The first translation of a book by Darwin was published in 1881: a translation of The Descent of Man titled as Jinsoron On the Ancestors of Man; Darwin 1881. The translator was a scholar of education Kozu Senzaburo . In spite of its title the book was actually a hybrid which included a mixture of chapters of the Descent namely chapters 1-7 and 21 together with other texts: the Historical Sketch that Darwin appended to the third edition of the Origin 1861 and some sections taken from Thomas Huxley's Evidence as to Man's Place in Nature Kaneko 2000. So this book can also be described as the first publication including a partial translation of a text from the Origin" Taizo Translating "natural selection" in Japanese: from "shizen tota" to "shizen sentaku" and backDarwin'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 biologist and zoologist. "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." Golley Darwinism in Japan: The Birth of Ecology.The popularity of Darwin's works and theories became immensly popular in Japan: "Curiously there are more versions of "The Origin" in Japanese than in any other language. The earliest were literary with subsequent translations becoming more scientific as the Japanese developed a technical language for biology." Glick The Comparatice Reception of Darwinism P. XXIIDarwin's work had in Japan - as in the rest of the world - profound influence on the academic disciplines of zoology and biology however in Japan the most immediate influence was not on these subjects but on social thinkers: ". it exerted great influence on Japanese social thinkers and social activists. After learning of Darwin's theory Hiroyuki Kato the first president of Tokyo Imperial University published his New Theory of Human Rights and advocated social evolution theory social Darwinism emphasizing the inevitable struggle for existence in human society. He criticized the burgeoning Freedom and People's right movement. Conversely Siusui Kautoku a socialist and Japanese translator of the Communist Manifesto wrote articles on Darwinism such as "Darwin and Marx" 1904. In this and other articles he criticized kato's theory on Social Darwinism insisting that Darwinism does not contradict socialism. The well known anarchist Sakae Osugi published the third translation of On the Origin of Species in 1914 and later his translation of peter Kropotokin's Mutial Aid: A Factor of Evolution. Osugi spread the idea of mutual aid as the philosophical base of Anarcho-syndicalism." Tsuyoshi The Japanese Lysenkoism and its Historical Backgrounds p. 9 "Charles Darwin's theory of evolution was introduced to Japan in 1877 Morse 1936/1877 during Japan's push to gain military modernity through study of western sciences and technologies and the culture from which they had arisen. In the ensuing decades the theory of evolution was applied as a kind of social scientific tool i.e. social Spencerism or social Darwinism Sakura 1998:341; Unoura 1999. Sakura 1998 suggests that the theory of evolution did not have much biological application in Japan. Instead Japanese applied the idea of 'the survival of the fittest' which was a misreading of Darwin's natural selection theory to society and to individuals in the struggle for existence in Japan's new international circumstances see also Gluck 1985: 13 265.However at least by the second decade of the 1900s and by the time that Imanishi Kinji entered the Kyoto Imperial University the curricula in the natural and earth sciences were largely based on German language sources and later on English language texts. These exposed students to something very different from a social Darwinist approach in these sciences. New sources that allow us to follow" ASQUITH Sources for Imanishi Kinji's views of sociality and evolutionary outcomes p. 1."After 1895 the year of China's defeat in the Sino-Japanese War Spencer's slogan "the survival of the fittest" entered Chinese and Japanese writings as "the superior win the inferior lose." Concerned with evolutionary theory in terms of the survival of China rather than the origin of species Chinese intellectuals saw the issue as a complex problem involving the evolution of institutions ideas and attitudes. Indeed they concluded that the secret source of Western power and the rise of Japan was their mutual belief in modern science and the theory of evolutionary progress. According to Japanese scholars traditional Japanese culture was not congenial to Weastern science because the Japanese view of the relationship between the human world and the divine world was totally different from that of Western philosophers. Japanese philosophers envisioned a harmonious relationship between heaven and earth rather than conflict. Traditionally nature was something to be seen through the eyes of a poet rather than as the passive object of scientific investigations. The traditional Japanese vision of harmony in nature might have been uncongenial to a theory based on natural selection but Darwinism was eagerly adopted by Japanese thinkers who saw it as a scientific retionalization for Japan's intense efforts to become a modernized military and industial power. Whereas European and American scientists and theologians became embroiled in disputes about the evolutionary relationship between humans and other animals Japanese debates about the meaning of Darwinism primarily dealt with the national and international implications of natural selection and the struggle for survival. Late nineteenth-century Japanese commentators were likely to refer to Darwinism as an "eternal and unchangeable natural law" that justified militaristic nationalism directed by supposedly superior elites". Magner A History of the Life Sciences Revised and Expanded p. 349"Between 1877 and 1888 only four works on the subject of biological evolution were published in Japan. During these same eleven years by contrast at least twenty Japanese translations of Herbert Spencer's loosely "Darwinian" social theories made their appearance. The social sciences dominated the subject and when Darwin's original The Origin of Species Seibutsu shigen finally appeared in translation in 1896 it was published by a press specializing in economics. It is not surprising then that by the early 20th century when Darwin's work began to make an impact as a biological rather than a "social" theory the terms "evolution" shinka "the struggle for existence" seizon kyôsô and "survival of the fittest" tekisha seizon had been indelibly marked as social and political principles. 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."
