In very good condition bookplates to the front pastedowns. 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. John Murray unknown
1868réf. 10685New York: Orange Judd & Company 1868 Faint small spots of discoloration along the foredge of first 193 pages - does not affect legibility or integrity of the volume. Bumped two lower corners of covers. Bookplate to inside front cover. ; Book is in excellent condition. Volume 2 is concerned with how species inherit particular characteristics Darwin first published his 'provisional hypothesis' of pangenesis. This theory of 'gemmules' was not met with much acceptance and today is not valuable as scientific explanation but it was important in laying down the key questions that needed to be answered regarding the processes of genetic inheritance. Darwin also used volume 2 to challenge the theories of evolution by design expounded by the botanist Asa Gray. Darwin's arguments were some of the very first in a long debate that remains hot today. The work was intended to counter critics of Origin of Species particularly those who questioned the reality of variation and the mechanism of inheritance. It is considered a classic in evolutionary biology providing crucial support for the theory of evolution. It laid groundwork for modern plant and animal breeding and genetics. ; ; 568 pages.
