The development of Charles Darwin's views on evolution by natural
selection has fascinated biologists since the 1859 publication of
his landmark text On The Origin of Species. His experiences,
observations and reflections during and after his pivotal journey
on the Beagle during 1831-36 were of critical importance. Darwin
was not, however, a man to be rushed. While his autobiography
claims that the framework of his theory was laid down by 1839, its
first outline sketch did not emerge until 1842. That essay was
heavily edited, with many insertions and erasures. It formed the
vital kernel of his more expansive but also unpolished and
unpublished essay of 1844. Following careful editing by his son
Francis, both essays were published in 1909, and are reproduced
here. Reading these side by side, and together with the Origin,
permits us to scrutinise selection and evolution truly in action.
