Originally published in 1871 The Descent of Man contains the first use of 'evolution' in any of his published works preceding its appearance in the sixth edition of On the Origin of Species by a year and the second edition includes a new preface describing the 'fiery ordeal through which the book has passed'. The final definitive version of the text was the twelfth thousand printed in 1875 with the following printings up to the turn of the century being stereos of it. 'In the Origin Darwin had avoided discussing the place occupied by Homo sapiens in the scheme of natural selection stating only that "light will be thrown on the origin of man and his history". Twelve years later he made good on his promise with The Descent of Man in which he compared man's physical and psychological characteristics to similar traits in apes and other animals showing how even man's mind and moral sense could have developed through evolutionary processes. In discussing man's ancestry Darwin did not claim that man was directly descended from apes as we know them today but stated simply that the extant ancestors of Homo sapiens would have to be classified among the primates; however this statement as misinterpreted by the popular press caused a furor second only to that raised by the Origin. Darwin also added an essay on sexual selection i.e. the preferential chances of mating that some individuals of one sex have over their rivals because of special structures colors and types of behaviors used in courtship leading to the accentuation and transmission of those characteristics' Hook and Norman The Norman Library of Science and Medicine 599.
