Charles Darwin
The Descent of Man and Selection in Relation to Sex
ont> John Murray : London 1874 Book. Very Good. Hardcover. First edition. The second edition of this significant piece of scientific history regarding evolutionary theory in the context of humans by eminent Victorian naturalist Charles Darwin. A superior copy of this important work. This work is regarded as Darwin's most important after 'The Origin of Species'. It continues on the principles laid out in the aforementioned work which served as an abstract of his theory. Here Darwin applies his evolutionary theory to humans and proceeds to detail his theory of sexual selection. He also discusses evolutionary psychology evolutionary ethics race sexes and how evolutionary theory is relevant to society. Being the first edition in single volume form this second edition was published three years after the first edition which appeared as two volumes. This edition had been heavily revised with nearly 100 textual revisions. It forms of three parts instead of the two parts found in the first edition. In this edition sexual selection in relation to man is its own individual part. This section contains a seven page essay by T Huxley on the brains of man and apes. With the five line errata slip. To the preface Darwin regards the 'fiery ordeal through which this book has passed'. Before this work Darwin had avoided providing people with an outcome of his theory of evolution in relation to the human race. This work gave the people an explanation of this and the first edition was the first appearance of the word 'evolution' in Darwin's works. A very smart copy of this work which forms a crucial part of scientific history as we know it. Condition: In the publisher's original cloth binding. Externally very smart with just some minor shelfwear to to the joints and to the head and tail of spine. Small mark to the front board. Minor bumping to the head of spine and some shelfwear to the extremities. Bookseller's label to the front pastedown Thomas Purves. Front hinge is lightly strained but firm. Internally generally firmly bound though some gatherings are starting to loosen in places. Pages are very bright with just the odd spots. Overall Condition: Very Good. ont> John Murray : London hardcover

ont> John Murray : London 1871 Book. Very Good. Hardcover. First edition. A first edition first issue set of this famous work regarding evolutionary theory in the context of humans by eminent Victorian naturalist Charles Darwin. The 'Descent of Man' was the first of Charles Darwin's works to use the word 'evolution' and this can be found to page 2 of the first volume. It next appeared in Darwin's sixth edition of 'Origin' published in the following year. This work continues on the principles laid out in Darwin's 'On the Origin of Species' which served as an abstract of his theory. Here Darwin applies his evolutionary theory to humans and proceeds to detail his theory of sexual selection. He also looks at evolutionary psychology evolutionary ethics race sexes and how evolutionary theory is relevant to society. A harlequin set with volume I in a half morocco binding with cloth covered boards and volume II in library cloth. Both volumes are the first edition first issue with the correct errata to the verso of title page to volume II seventeen errata for volume I and eight for volume II. With the note to a leaf between i and x referring to 'a serious and unfortunate error'. To volume I page 297 starts with 'transmitted' and contains misprints such as 'kaola' to page 27. This first volume is very scarce as only 2500 copies of this issue were printed. Collated both volumes have been rebound without the half-titles and publisher's adverts. Ex-library copies with institutional stamps to the recto and verso of title pages only for the 'National Central Library London'. To the recto of front endpaper to volume II there is also a stamp for 'British Library Boston Spa Yorkshire'. Illustrated with several in-text illustrations. A scarce opportunity to own a copy of the first edition first impression of this important scientific work. Condition: A harlequin set. With volume I in a half morocco binding with cloth covered boards and volume II in library cloth. Blind stamp to the board of volume I for London Library St James's Square. Externally volume I is worn with heavy rubbing to the extremities and joints. Volume II is generally smart with two library stickers to the front board. Front joint to volume I is tender with the hinge detached resulting in the lifting of the backstrip. A few small chips to the preliminaries of volume I. With library stamps to the endpapers and title pages of both volumes. Loss to the front pastedown and endpaper of volume I. Internally both volumes are firmly bound. Pages are generally bright.

The word "evolution" appears here for the first time in any of Darwin s works on page 2 of the first volume that is to say before its appearance in the sixth edition of the Origin of species in the following year Freeman p 129. In 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 furore second only to that raised by the Origin Norman.
