Darwin's classic work on natural selection genes and species. The work was first published in the UK in 1871 and subsequently in two volumes in the US in 1872. The second edition was revised and converted to a single-volume edition. The Descent of Man Darwin's second landmark work on evolutionary theory following The Origin of the Species marked a turning point in the history of science with its modern vision of human nature as the product of evolution. Darwin argued that the noblest features of humans such as language and morality were the result of the same natural processes that produced iris petals and scorpion tails.

1873rif. 90263New York: D. Appleton & Co 1873. First Edition. First printing. Octavo 20cm. Publisher's terra-cotta cloth with gilt titles on spine; decorative devices stamped in black on upper and lower covers; i-vii; 1-374pp 14pp ads; seven inserted leaves of plates three folding; text illus. Spine ends and board edges a bit rubbed with tiny bit of cloth flaking at base of spine; internally complete and quite fresh the endpapers and hinges clean and strong text firm and unmarked; in all a tight Very Good copy. A key work in Darwin's evolutionary canon originally intended as a section of The Descent of Man but published separately for cost considerations. Darwin's meticulously documented thesis that certain expressions of emotion are if not universal then at least highly correlated across human cultures as well as across animal species has never been seriously challenged. The heliotype plates most of which are printed from original negatives represented an important milestone in scientific book illustration; they were included at considerable expense despite the objections of Darwin's publishers who warned that their inclusion would "poke a terrible hole" in the book's profits. A quite nice copy of a book which while not strictly uncommon is typically found well-worn. D. Appleton & Co unknown books
