Remarks On The Final Causes Of The Sexuality Of Plants, With Particular Reference To Mr. Darwin's Work On The Origin Of Species


Book Description

As a prominent botanist in the mid-19th century, Daubeny was well-positioned to weigh in on the controversy sparked by Darwin's theory of evolution. In this impassioned essay, he argues that Darwin's view of the sexuality of plants fails to take into account the deeper mysteries and complexities of nature. With detailed analysis of the reproductive habits of plants and a fervent defense of the traditional view of natural theology, Daubeny offers an important counterpoint to the prevailing scientific thought of his day.

On the Origin of Species Illustrated


Book Description

On the Origin of Species (or, more completely, On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life),[3] published on 24 November 1859, is a work of scientific literature by Charles Darwin which is considered to be the foundation of evolutionary biology.[4] Darwin's book introduced the scientific theory that populations evolve over the course of generations through a process of natural selection. It presented a body of evidence that the diversity of life arose by common descent through a branching pattern of evolution. Darwin included evidence that he had gathered on the Beagle expedition in the 1830s and his subsequent findings from research, correspondence, and experimentation.










Criticisms on the Origin of Species


Book Description

In the course of the present year several foreign commentaries upon Mr. Darwin's great work have made their appearance. Those who have perused that remarkable chapter of the 'Antiquity of Man, ' in which Sir Charles Lyell draws a parallel between the development of species and that of languages, will be glad to hear that one of the most eminent philologers of Germany, Professor Schleicher, has, independently, published a most instructive and philosophical pamphlet (an excellent notice of which is to be found in the 'Reader', for February 27th of this year) supporting similar views with all the weight of his special knowledge and established authority as a linguist
