HUXLEY'S GROUNDBREAKING STUDY OF EVOLVED RITUALIZED BEHAVIOR IN SEXUAL SELECTION. 10.5x18.5 cm hardcover black cloth binding gilt title to spine 97 pp 2 2 plates. Near fine in near fine dust jacket in protective mylar sleeve. LAID IN: Retrospective review of the book in Nature 25 Sept 2014 pages 484-5. " JULIAN HUXLEY 1887–1975 was an architect of the mid-twentieth-century evolutionary synthesis that merged Darwin's ideas on natural selection with population genetics. Decades before that however he helped to pioneer the field of animal behavior with his groundbreaking work on avian ethology the 1914 Courtship Habits of the Great Crested Grebe. In it he demonstrated how detailed observations of individual birds can prompt profound biological questions and sometimes reveal the outline of the answers. Huxley and his brother Trevenen spent two weeks watching the courtship of great crested grebes Podiceps cristatus. They did so at a reservoir near the Hertfordshire town of Tring now renowned as home to the matchless bird collections of the Natural History Museum. The result was a paper published in the Proceedings of the Zoological Society of London in 1914 and later in slightly abbreviated form as a pocket-sized book. By the month of the brothers' observations the grebes had already paired. Nevertheless male and female whose plumages are virtually identical engaged in striking behaviors such as the "cat attitude" and the "penguin dance" as Huxley colorfully labelled them. These he interpreted as necessary to bring the two birds into what he perceived as the emotional synchrony needed for coition nest-building and egg-laying. To achieve this some behaviors have undergone a gradual change from useful action to symbol to ritual. It was Huxley's landmark paper that identified this process of ritualization in animal behavior he organized a Royal Society symposium to discuss it in 1965. Huxley also realized that ritualization extended to mammals including people. With a sprinkling of references to Dante Plato and Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet he digresses to muse on how human courtship so often and so predictably proceeds from hand-holding to kissing to more. More formally he realized that behaviors may be shaped by evolution." Jonathan Cape hardcover

Spine faded otherwise unmarked and very good in custom archival mylar cover. From Preface: "Very soon after I began to teach Natural History or what we now call Biology at the Royal School of Mines some twenty years ago I arrived at the conviction that the study of living bodies is really one discipline which is divided into Zoology and Botany simply as a matter of convenience; and that the scientific Zoologist should no more be ignorant of the fundamental phenomena of vegetable life than the scientific Botanist of those of animal existence. Moreover it was obvious that the road to a sound and thorough knowledge of Zoology and Botany lay through Morphology and Physiology; and that as in the case of all other physical sciences so in these sound and thorough knowledge was only to be obtained by practical work in he laboratory." THOMAS HENRY HUXLEY 1825 – 1895 was an English biologist and anthropologist who specialized in comparative anatomy. He has become known as "Darwin's Bulldog" for his advocacy of Charles Darwin's theory of evolution. Huxley had little formal schooling and was virtually self-taught. He became perhaps the finest comparative anatomist of the later 19th century. He worked on invertebrates clarifying relationships between groups previously little understood. Later he worked on vertebrates especially on the relationship between apes and humans. After comparing Archaeopteryx with Compsognathus he concluded that birds evolved from small carnivorous dinosaurs a belief still widely held today. The thirty-one years during which Huxley occupied the chair of natural history at the Royal School of Mines included work on vertebrate paleontology and on many projects to advance the place of science in British life. When Huxley himself was young there were virtually no degrees in British universities in the biological sciences and few courses. Most biologists of his day either were self-taught or took medical degrees. When he retired there were established chairs in biological disciplines in most universities and a broad consensus on the curricula to be followed. Huxley was the single most influential person in this transformation. Huxley was also a major influence in the direction taken by British schools: in November 1870 he was elected to the London School Board in its first elections. Macmillan and Co. hardcover
