Darwin delved deeply into the problems of the origin and evolution of the solar system making numerous investigations of the figures of equilibrium for rotating masses of fluid. A further application of Darwin's theory of tidal friction to the motion of the planets round the sun opened up the wider question of the genesis of the solar system.

A primeira distingue-se por ter 5 erratas em 6 linhas na p. vi do vol. I; 7 erratas na p. viii do vol. II; e o nome do editor gravado numa única linha no pé das lombadas. A segunda tiragem distingue-se por ter apenas uma única errata no primeiro volume também na p. vi e nenhuma errata no segundo volume. Existem variantes desta tiragem que diferem ao nível da encadernação com o nome do editor gravado numa ou em duas linhas no pé da lombada; mas também pelas datas que constam dos anúncios inseridos no final dos volumes.</p>_x000d_<p>SOBRE A OBRA</p>_x000d_<p>Obra rara. Publicada em 1868 esta é uma das mais extensas obras de Darwin. Fundamental para a compreensão da teoria da seleção natural de Darwin.</p>_x000d_<p>Representa um prolongamento significativo da seminal «<em>On the Origin of Species</em>» A Origem das Espécies de 1859 oferecendo uma visão aprofundada das teorias de Darwin acerca dos mecanismos subjacentes à variação entre indivíduos de uma espécie sob domesticação. Trata-se da expansão dos primeiros dois capítulos da <em>Origem </em>constituindo aliás a única secção publicada do projetado «grande livro» de Darwin sobre a origem das espécies do qual a <em>Origem</em> seria apenas um resumo.</p>_x000d_<p>É especialmente notável pela teoria sobre hereditariedade hoje posta de lado que Darwin designou por <em>pangenesis</em> pangénese. A obra é também citada como a primeira em que Darwin inclui a frase «<em>survival of the fittest</em>» sobrevivência do mais apto cunhada pelo filósofo e sociólogo Herbert Spencer ao ler a <em>Origem</em> que teria terríveis usos durante o século XX servindo de suporte a ideologias racistas ao Holocausto e a muitas guerras e abusos contra os direitos humanos.</p>_x000d_<p>Ao examinar as práticas de seleção artificial na origem de novas raças de animais e variedades de plantas Darwin elucida como estes mesmos princípios se aplicam na natureza moldando a evolução das espécies ao longo do tempo; ou seja clarifica a noção de seleção natural através da descrição da prática da reprodução selectiva. Nestes dois volumes são abordados os avanços numa série de espécies de culturas arvenses hortícolas pecuárias e de animais domesticados especialmente pombos; os efeitos benéficos do cruzamento e os efeitos adversos da consanguinidade estreita. Além disso Darwin desenvolveu a sua hipótese da pangénese para preencher a lacuna que justificava a forma como a variabilidade era herdada.</p>_x000d_<p>A pangénese foi o mecanismo hipotético de Charles Darwin para a hereditariedade no qual ele propôs que cada parte do corpo emitia continuamente o seu próprio tipo de pequenas partículas orgânicas chamadas <em>gémulas</em> que são depois transmitidas aos órgãos reprodutores e passadas aos descendentes. Através deste mecanismo as variações adquiridas pelos indivíduos durante a sua vida poderiam ser herdadas pelas gerações seguintes contribuindo para a diversidade de características numa população.</p>_x000d_<p>Da pangénese só ficou por dela provir o étimo do termo <em>gene</em> pois foi completamente posta de lado pela Genética Mendeliana assim designada a partir do apelido do seu genial descobridor Gregor Mendel frade da Ordem de Santo Agostinho que forma a base principal da genética clássica.</p>_x000d_<p>No final do livro Darwin contesta diretamente os argumentos apresentados contra as suas teorias de variabilidade por diversos sectores em especial a Igreja Anglicana sugerindo que a seleção natural ou a ação humana e não uma intervenção divina moldam as formas de vida.</p>_x000d_<p>Atualmente vários avanços da genética como a mutação artificial a poliploidia a adaptação e os marcadores genéticos ampliaram a disciplina com conceitos e questões cujas sementes se encontram nas palavras originais de Darwin. Assiste-se a um florescimento da investigação genómica sobre o próprio processo de domesticação sendo muito curioso notar como a nossa visão da diversidade doméstica contrasta com a dos escritos de Darwin. Este sublinhava a abundância da diversidade e o poder diversificador da seleção artificial ao passo que hoje em dia estamos preocupados com a diminuição da diversidade genética que acompanha a agricultura moderna.</p>_x000d_<p>Charles Robert Darwin Shrewsbury 1809 – Downe 1882 foi um naturalista inglês famoso pela sua teoria da evolução através da seleção natural. Desde cedo demonstrou interesse pela história natural. Depois de se formar em Teologia na Universidade de Cambridge embarcou numa jornada épica a bordo do HMS Beagle onde recolheu uma vasta gama de espécimes e observações que influenciaram profundamente o seu pensamento.</p>_x000d_<p>Publicou a sua obra muito célebre «A Origem das Espécies» em 1859 onde propôs que todas as espécies de seres vivos descendem de ancestrais comuns e que a seleção natural é o mecanismo primário responsável pela evolução das espécies ao longo do tempo. A teoria de Darwin teve um impacto revolucionário não só no campo da biologia mas também nas ciências humanas desafiando conceções prevalecentes sobre a origem e a diversidade da vida na Terra.</p>_x000d_<p>Além das suas contribuições científicas Darwin era também um escritor e correspondente prolífico.

The first was distinguished by having 5 errata in 6 lines on p. vi of vol. I; 7 errata on p. viii of vol. II; and the publisher's name engraved in a single line at the foot of the spines. The second print run is distinguished by having only a single errata in the first volume also on p. vi and no errata in the second volume. There are variants of this print run which differ in terms of the binding with the publisher's name engraved in one or two lines at the foot of the spine; but also in terms of the dates given in the adverts at the end of the volumes.</p>_x000d_<p>ABOUT THE WORK</p>_x000d_<p>Rare work. Published in 1868 this is one of Darwin's most extensive works. Fundamental to understanding Darwin's theory of natural selection.</p>_x000d_<p>Represents a significant prolongation of the seminal «<em>On the Origin of Species</em>»from 1859 offering an in-depth look at Darwin's theories about the mechanisms underlying variation between individuals of a species under domestication. It is an expansion of the first two chapters of <em>On the Origin</em> was in fact the only published section of Darwin's projected "great book" on the origin of species of which the <em>On the Origin</em> was only a summary.</p>_x000d_<p>It is especially notable for the theory of heredity today set aside that Darwin called <em>pangenesis</em>. The work is also cited as the first in which Darwin includes the phrase "<em> of the fittest</em>" made famous by the philosopher and sociologist Herbert Spencer when he read the <em>On the Origin</em> which would have terrible uses during the 20th century serving as support for racist ideologies the Holocaust and many wars and abuses against human rights.</p>_x000d_<p>By examining the practices of artificial selection in the origin of new breeds of animals and varieties of plants Darwin elucidates how these same principles apply in nature moulding the evolution of species over time; in other words he clarifies the notion of natural selection by describing the practice of selective breeding. In these two volumes advances in a range of arable horticultural livestock and domesticated animal species especially pigeons are discussed; the beneficial effects of cross-breeding and the adverse effects of close inbreeding. In addition Darwin developed his hypothesis of pangenesis to fill the gap in justifying how variability was inherited.</p>_x000d_<p>Pangenesis was Charles Darwin's hypothesised mechanism for heredity in which he proposed that each part of the body continuously emitted its own type of small organic particles called <em>Gemmule</em> which are then transmitted to the reproductive organs and passed on to the offspring. Through this mechanism variations acquired by individuals during their lifetime could be inherited by subsequent generations contributing to the diversity of characteristics in a population.</p>_x000d_<p>Only the term <em>gene</em> was left over from pangenesis since it was completely set aside by Mendelian Genetics named after the surname of its brilliant discoverer Gregor Mendel a friar of the Order of St Augustine which forms the main basis of classical genetics.</p>_x000d_<p>At the end of the book Darwin directly contests the arguments put forward against his theories of variability by various sectors in particular the Anglican Church suggesting that natural selection or human action rather than divine intervention moulds life forms.</p>_x000d_<p>Today various advances in genetics such as artificial mutation polyploidy adaptation and genetic markers have expanded the discipline with concepts and questions the seeds of which can be found in Darwin's original words. Genomic research into the domestication process itself is flourishing and it is very curious to note how our view of domestic diversity contrasts with Darwin's writings. He emphasised the abundance of diversity and the diversifying power of artificial selection whereas today we are concerned about the decrease in genetic diversity that accompanies modern agriculture.</p>_x000d_<p>Charles Robert Darwin Shrewsbury 1809 - Downe 1882 was an English naturalist famous for his theory of evolution through natural selection. From an early age he showed an interest in natural history. After graduating in Theology from Cambridge University he embarked on an epic voyage aboard the HMS Beagle where he collected a vast array of specimens and observations that profoundly influenced his thinking.</p>_x000d_<p>He published his very famous work "The Origin of Species" in 1859 where he proposed that all species of living beings descend from common ancestors and that natural selection is the primary mechanism responsible for the evolution of species over time. Darwin's theory had a revolutionary impact not only in the field of biology but also in the human sciences challenging prevailing conceptions about the origin and diversity of life on Earth.</p>_x000d_<p>In addition to his scientific contributions Darwin was also a prolific writer and correspondent. His work continues to be studied and debated to this day establishing his place as one of the most influential thinkers in the history of science.</p>_x000d_<p>Referências/References:<br />Freeman 877 878 878b.<br />Norman 597.<br />Garrison-Morton 224.1</p> M-19-C-6 hardcover‎
