First and last leaves conjugate detached but very good otherwise. First Edition of one of Darwin's lesser-known discoveries. Darwin was the first to postulate in this paper the existence of an inertially-based navigational system in animals; his suggestion was confirmed by studies done in the 20th century. This type of navigational system now known as path integration uses input from the vestibular organs and other sensors in the body to enable an animal such as a migrating bird to estimate its position with relation to its home.

This is the first edition of Darwin's well-known work on animal behavior and communication theory. Darwin studied the movement of facial muscles and how they express emotion in man and animals. The heliotype photo plates are works of art and demonstrate a new breakthrough in Victorian photography. From the library of Dr. Oliver Sacks the renowned neurologist author and educator. He was in his life celebrated for his contributions to the understanding of the human brain and his ability to communicate complex scientific concepts to a broader audience. In doing so he highlighted the profound impact of neurological disorders on human identity and experience. His library is a reflection of this remarkable polymath's questing mind.

1868Best.-Nr. 137161New York: Orange Judd & Company 1868. First edition of Darwin's hypothesis of pangenesis. Octavo original publisher's green cloth with gilt titles to the spine illustrated with numerous in-text illustrations and a chart. Preface by Asa Gray. In near fine condition. An exceptional example. Darwin's Variation Under Domestication “took up in detail that subject which had been confined to one chapter of the Origin. It contained Darwin’s hypothesis of pangenesis by means of which he tried to frame an explanation of hereditary resemblance inheritance of acquired characters atavism and regeneration. It was a brave attempt to account for a number of phenomena which were beyond the bounds of scientific knowledge in his day such as fertilization by the union of sperm with egg the mechanism of chromosomal inheritance and the development of the embryo by successive cell division. His hypothesis of pangenesis could not therefore give a permanently acceptable account of the multitude of phenomena it was designed to explain. It was however a point of departure for particulate theories of inheritance in the later 19th century” DSB. Orange Judd & Company hardcover
