Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Essays and Criticisms, Vol. 2 of 2 The Descent of Man, and Selection in Relation to Sex: By Charles Darwin, M.A., F.E.S., &c. 2 vols. London, 1871. In Mr. Darwins last work we possess at length a complete and thorough exposition of his matured views. He gives us the results of the patient labour of many years unremitting investigation and of the application of a powerful and acute intellect, combined with an extraordinary active imagination, to an unequalled collection of most varied, interesting, and important biological data. In his earlier writings a certain reticence veiled, though it did not hide, his ultimate conclusions as to the origin of our own species; but now all possibility of misunderstanding or of a repetition of former disclaimers on the part of any disciple is at an end, and the entire and naked truth as to the logical consequences of Darwinism is displayed with a frankness which we had a right to expect from the distinguished author. What was but obscurely hinted in the Origin of Species is here fully and fairly stated in all its bearings and without disguise. Mr. Darwin has, in fact, crowned the edifice, and the long looked for and anxiously awaited detailed statement of his views as to the human race is now unreservedly put before us. We rise from the careful perusal of this book with mingled feelings of admiration and disappointment. The authors style is clear and attractive - clearer than in his earlier works - and his desire to avoid every kind of conscious misrepresentation is as conspicuous as ever.
