ref. 66252London: John Murray 1894. 8vo. 19 x 12.5 cm. pp.xvi693. Publisher's original spruce green cloth spine lettered and decorated in gilt brown-coated endpapers. Numerous wood-engraved illustrations in the text. Provenance: Old ownership inscription Daniel A. Dewar dated 1896 to half-title. Final leaf with blind-stamp and crudely repaired tear endpapers a bit browned generally a very good copy. The Descent of Man was the first work to use the word 'evolution' preceding its use in the sixth edition of Origin of Species by a year and it expands upon the theories of selection and evolution proposed in Origin of Species. The word appears on several occasions in the text firstly on page 1: "Of the older and honoured chiefs in natural science many unfortunately are still opposed to evolution in every form". Prior to the Descent Darwin carefully neglected to draw out the implications of his theory when applied to human beings and hoped that one of his supporters such as Lyell or Huxley might tackle the thorny question of human evolution. When none did he set to work writing. Darwin laid out a clear family tree for humans tracing their affinity with primates and expounded his views on the evolutionary origins of morality and religion. By doing so the Descent "brought the full force of evolutionary proposals directly into the heart of ordinary Victorian life" ODNB and "caused a furore second only to that raised by the Origin" Norman.
