His concept of natural selection has created eruptive disputes among scientists and religious leaders of his time and ours. The phenomenal importance of his brilliant work is universally recognized, but the present volume marks the first scholarly attempt to compile a complete variorum edition of The Origin of Species, covering all of the extensive variants in the six texts published between 1859 and 1872.Darwin's changes were extensive. His book grew by a third as he rewrote many passages four or five times, and in this edition Morse Peckham has recorded every one of those changes. A book of such distinctive dimensions, on a subject of such profound importance, will be of intense interest to historians of biology, evolution, science, literature, and cultural development. It will be an invaluable aid to the clarification and full comprehension of this complex and renowned scientific classic. 606 $aEvolution (Biology) 606 $aNatural selection 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aEvolution (Biology) 615 0$aNatural selection. 676 $a576.82 700 $aDarwin$b Charles$f1809-1882.$046083 701 $aPeckham$b Morse$0202736 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910457080603321 996 $aThe origin of species$92479461 997 $aUNINA
