1880Best.-Nr. 258181880 DARWIN Origin of Species Evolution Survival of Fittest Biology Science "One general law leading to the advancement of all organic beings namely multiply vary let the strongest live and the weakest die." ― Charles Darwin The Origin of Species "Origin of Species" originally written in 1859 helped lay the foundation for many of the theories of evolution that would shape thinking for the next century. According to Glick "'Origin of Species' greatest impact on German biological practice lay in the introduction of historical modes of explanation for the observable phenomena of living nature. The historical approach to nature was rejected not only by the opponents of evolution but also by the idealist evolutionist. Whether they favored a teleological or a reductionist biology the idealists could not see the point of a theory that emphasized the irregularities and exceptions in the organic world. In the timeless real of idealist thinking unchanging laws worked out an inevitable destiny. But Darwin taught his followers to look at living beings one by one. Thus prompted they recognized as if for the first time the surprising fact of anomaly and the wisdom of an open-ended theory." Glick Comparative Reception of Darwinism Garrison calls this work "the most wonderful piece of synthesis in the history of science."

A Fine copy completely unopened. Freeman 1280. Darwin recalled the writing of this title in his autobiography: "This book consists chiefly of the several papers on heterostyled flowers originally published by the Linnean Society corrected with much new matter added together with observations on some other cases in which the same plant bears two kinds of flowers. As before remarked no little discovery of mine ever gave me so much pleasure as the making out the meaning of heterostyled flowers. The results of crossing such flowers in an illegitimate manner I believe to be very important as bearing on the sterility of hybrids; although these results have been noticed by only a few persons."

While working on Descent of Man Darwin became interested in emotional expression across species. In animals he believed expressions were a part of their purposeful action and not connected to emotion. Humans however were very emotional. He examines reactions and expressions in human subjects to different stimuli like "low spirits" of grief and anxiety and "high spirits" like love. Though for Darwin the most intriguing and peculiar reaction to emotion was blushing. So much so that he dedicates an entire chapter to it and comes to the conclusion "It appears that the mental powers of infants are not as yet sufficiently developed to allow of their blushing. Hence also it is that idiots rarely blush." Freeman 1141 & 1142 Norman 600; Garrison-Morton 4975. John Murray unknown
