DARWIN CHARLES
The Descent of Man and Selection in Relation to Sex
<p>FIRST EDITION FIRST ISSUE with the uncorrected text in Vol. I and with the list of errata on the verso of the title-page in Vol. II. Freeman observes that "there are important textual differences" between the two issues of the first edition. One of these later rectified with the removal of long passages from the second issue is pointed out in the first issue's inserted slip referring to "a serious an unfortunate error in relation to the sexual differences of animals."</p><p>This is the work in which Darwin applied his theory of evolution by means of natural selection to man a subject he had avoided for the decade following the publication of On the <i>Origin of Species</i>. The word "evolution" appears here for the first time in any of Darwin's works it was incorporated the following year in the sixth edition of the Origin. Darwin observed that man's extinct ancestors would have to be classified among the primates a statement that was misinterpreted in the popular press and caused a furor surpassed only by that of the <i>Origin</i>.</p><p>Darwin wrote "The time will before long come when it will be thought wonderful that naturalists who were well acquainted with the comparative structure and development of man and other animals should have believed that each was the work of a separate act of creation."</p><p>Freeman 937</p><p>Two volumes. Original green cloth. Minimal repair to head of spine. A near fine set.</p> John Murray

DARWIN CHARLES
THE DESCENT OF MAN. with ON THE ORIGINS OF SPECIES
New York: D. Appleton and Co 1871 1872. First American Edition of "Descent" with first use of the word "evolution" by Darwin; Fifth Edition of "Origin. 203 x 121 mm. 8 x 5". All volumes with ads at the end. Two separately published works in three volumes. First American Edition of "Descent" with first use of the word "evolution" by Darwin; Fifth Edition of "Origin." Publisher's brown buckram covers with black-stamped frames flat spines with gilt titling "Origin" with a leaves uncut in a couple of places. Descent with 76 illustrations in the text; "Origin" with folding diagram. Front free endpaper of all three volumes with pencilled signature of L. G. Andrews. Freeman 941 394. Tiny tear to head of one spine one corner slightly bumped extremities lightly rubbed a little chafing to a couple of boards one page with faint printing smudges other trivial internal imperfections but FINE COPIES internally clean and fresh in sound bindings with few signs of use. The first edition of "Descent of Man" is especially notable for Darwin's first use of the word now virtually synonymous with his name: "evolution" appears on p. 2 of volume I noting the opposition of some older scholars of natural science to his theory of natural selection. Darwin considered "descent" a continuation of the other work here his ground-breaking "Origin of Species" with special focus on man's descent from ape-like creatures. As DNB notes "'Descent' of Man brought the full force of evolutionary proposals directly into the heart of ordinary Victorian life." Another area of controversy in "Descent" was Darwin's theory on sexual selection which he used to explain physical characteristics more aesthetic than functional such as the male peacock's splendid tail the male hummingbird's iridescence and the male human's beard--all features that might give the possessor advantage in the attraction of a mate. Widely considered the most important biological book ever written "Origin" went through six revised editions following its first appearance in 1859 with our fifth edition marking Darwin's first use of Herbert Spencer's phrase "survival of the fittest" to describe natural selection. Our copy has never been read all the way through--a couple of leaves that remained uncut by the binder are still attached and no one has attempted to open them. Copies of these editions appear on the market from time to time but not often in the little-used condition seen here. D. Appleton and Co unknown

The descent of man and selection in relation to sex
<p><b>1877 Charles Darwin Descent of Man Evolution Natural History Monkeys Science </b></p><p><i>"it is those who know little not those who know much who so positively assert that this or that problem will never be solved by science."</i></p><p>― Charles Darwin<i> The Descent of Man</i></p><p><i>A very rare edition of Charles Darwin's 'Descent of Man.' This is the work in which Darwin's theories of evolution by means of natural selection were realized. Before this book Darwin applied his thoughts to animals and plants but had not yet decided they also could be realized in Homo sapiens. In fact the world 'evolution' had not appeared in any Darwinian work prior to 'Descent of Man.' Many of Darwin's theories that were prevalent in 'Descent' have been misconstrued and misinterpreted – most notably that humans descended from apes. Darwin never said humans came from apes or monkeys. Darwin's said that "human ancestors if alive today would have to be classified among the Primates."</i> De Beer.</p><p>Item number: #7003</p><p>Price: $499</p><p>DARWIN Charles</p><p><b><i>The descent of man and selection in relation to sex</i></b></p><p>New York: D.
