The publication of Charles Darwin's "On the Origin of Species" in
1859 is widely regarded as a turning point in knowledge of the
natural world. But Darwin's theory of natural selection was not
developed in a vacuum; rather, it represents the culmination of an
enormous shift in scientific and popular opinion on the subject of
species mutability from the late eighteenth century onward. Through
her insightful introduction and engaging collection of documents,
Sandra Herbert examines this era of scientific thought and the
startling discoveries that led Darwin and others to the conclusion
that life has evolved. A wide range of documents from over a dozen
authors -- including letters, illustrations, scientific tracts, and
excerpts from Darwin's own notebooks and "On the Origin of Species"
-- offer a fascinating glimpse into this crucial era of scientific
thought. Thoughtful document headnotes, questions for
consideration, a chronology, and a selected bibliography provide
students with additional context and pedagogical support.
