1875 Charles Darwin Variation Under Domestication Biology Plant Evolution 2v One general law, leading to the advancement of all organic beings, namely, multiply, vary, let the strongest live and the weakest die. Charles Darwin, The Origin of Species In the summer of 1858, Darwin felt pressured by other scientific research, to publish his evolutionary ideas, before others who had similar findings. He began writing according to his big book of Natural Selection the source for Variation. According to Freeman, This represents the only section of Darwin's big book on the origin of species which was published in his lifetime and corresponds to its first two chapters. (Freeman) When completed, Variation was by far Darwin s biggest book to date. In fact, when he sent it to the printer, he wrote a personal letter to Murray apologizing for the size. I cannot tell you how sorry I am to hear o the enormous size of my Book Because of this, portions of the original manuscript were left out including an important section on man. That portion would eventually become two more of Darwin s famous titles Descent of Man and Expression of Emotions in Man. Variation deals primarily with information on how to domesticate animals and plants, benefits, and consequences. It also contains one chapter consisting of Darwin s own theory of heredity which he called pangenesis. According to Freeman, on this 1875 edition, The text was extensively altered for the second edition of 1875, and the format was reduced to the usual crown octavo.
