1889réf. 101185Londres, John Murray, 1889, in-8, 2 parties en 1 volume : XVI-693 pp, Percaline verte de l'éditeur, "Of the older and honoured chiefs in natural science, many unfortunately are still opposed to evolution in every form" (p.1). "It is only our natural prejudice, and that arrogance which made our forefathers declare that they were descended from demi-gods, which leads us to demur to this conclusion" (p. 25). Mention de seconde édition et 25e mille : il s'agit d'un retirage de l'édition en un volume de 1888. Figures dans le texte. Le 24 Octobre 1859, Darwin fait paraitre The Origin of Species, où il expose sa théorie sur l'évolution des organismes par la sélection naturelle agissant en milieu animal et végétal. Treize ans plus tard, il publie The Descent of Man, où il prouve que l'homme est le descendant modifié d'espèces préexistantes, puis développe la théorie de la sélection sexuelle, facteur également d'évolution des espèces et de différenciation des races humaines. L'ouvrage rattache enfin la généalogie de l'homme à celle de l'animal et étend le transformisme à l'espèce humaine; Darwin y démontre la filiation à partir de singes de l'Ancien Monde. Afin d'établir sa théorie, il compare l'évolution du développement des embryons humains à ceux des animaux inférieurs. L'ouvrage a donné lieu à d'innombrables caricatures jouant sur la ressemblance entre le singe et l'homme. C'est aussi ici que le naturaliste défend le processus de civilisation humaine, qui protège et assure la survie des faibles, à l'inverse de la sélection naturelle qui les élimine.
