Charles Darwin and the Theory of Natural Selection is a book written by Edward B. Poulton that explores the life and work of Charles Darwin, who is widely regarded as one of the most influential scientists in history. The book delves into Darwin’s theory of natural selection, which explains how species evolve over time through a process of adaptation to their environment. Poulton provides a detailed account of Darwin’s life, including his childhood, education, and travels, as well as his scientific discoveries and the controversies that arose from them. The book also examines the impact of Darwin’s theory on the scientific community and on society as a whole, as well as its ongoing relevance in modern biology. With its engaging writing style and comprehensive coverage of Darwin’s life and work, Charles Darwin and the Theory of Natural Selection is an essential read for anyone interested in the history of science and the natural world.1896. Poulton, Hope Professor of Zoology at the University of Oxford, whose admiration of Darwin’s work verged on idolization, venerated natural selection in historical essays about Charles Darwin and evolutionary thought. Several works took this approach including this one, Charles Darwin and the Theory of Natural Selection. In this book Poulton described the Origin of Species as incomparably the greatest work the biological sciences had seen. Critics of natural selection, Poulton contended, had not taken the time to understand it.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
