George John Romanes (1848-94), evolutionary biologist, was one of
the most zealous supporters of Darwin's theory of evolution by
natural selection in the nineteenth century. He met Darwin in 1874
and became a firm friend and follower, applying Darwinian theory to
his work on animal intelligence and mental evolution. Romanes was
elected to the Royal Society in 1879 at the age of 31, having
produced his own influential research on the evolution of the
nervous system. This three-volume study of Darwin's work and its
implications was first developed as a series of lectures given in
Edinburgh and London between 1886 and 1890. Controversially,
Romanes deviates from Darwin's assertion of the significance of
geographical isolation, contending that physiological differences
among the same species were central to evolutionary change.
Published posthumously in 1895, Volume 2 focuses on the
'post-Darwinian questions' of heredity and utility in organisms.
