1871rif. 18750London: John Murray 1871. FIRST EDITION FIRST ISSUE. Numerous text illustrations. Original publisher's green cloth binding; an excellent set. First edition first issue of Darwin’s classic work in comparative anatomy his first inclusion of man in the general theory of natural selection and the first appearance of the term “evolution” in any of his works see Volume I page 2. In the twelve years since the publication of Origin the author had expanded his thinking as to man's inclusion with the other animals and this title which grew out of his Variations of Animals and Plants is based on his vast collection of data dating from 1837. Here by comparing the physiological and psychological aspects of man and ape he fills in what had been merely suggested in Origin that man's ancestor if still alive today would be classified among the primates and on a lower scale than the apes. The last chapter is an added essay on sexual selection that is the preferential chances of mating that some individuals of one sex have over their rivals. “Perhaps Darwin’s greatest contributions in this area was to show that secondary sexual characteristics had evolved in relation to a complex pattern of reproductive behavior which must itself be the product of natural selection” DSB III p. 575. This essay ends with the famous and often misquoted statement “Man still bears in his bodily frame the indelible stamp of his lowly origin.” Freeman 937; Garrison & Morton 170. John Murray unknown
