Sobre IBD

This volume is the definitive record of the living mammals collected by Charles Darwin during his historic five-year circumnavigation aboard H.M.S. Beagle (1832-1836).

Part II ;of the comprehensive Zoology series, Mammalia provides a meticulous account of the species encountered and preserved, primarily from the remote coastlines and interior territories of South America. It features detailed scientific descriptions and classifications of bats, carnivores, and an array of South American rodents, including species new to science.

Crucially, Charles Darwin himself contributes the vital contextual material, including a geographical introduction to the collection sites and extensive 'Notices of their Habits and Ranges.' These firsthand field observations offer unparalleled insights into the behavior and distribution of these creatures in their native habitats.

Contents include:

  • Phyllostomidae
  • Phyllostoma Grayi
  • Phyllostoma Perspicillatum
  • Vespertilionidae
  • Noctilionidae
  • Carnivora
  • Canis Magellanicus
  • Felis Pajoros, etc.

The remarkable biodiversity documented in these pages fueled Darwin’s early thinking on evolution and geographical succession, making this a pivotal primary source for understanding the development of his revolutionary theories. A must-have for historians of science and naturalists.

    Europeans, especially those from northern and eastern Europe, are unique in having diverse hair and eye colors and a skin almost as pale as an albino’s. Those colors are not only brighter than the original black and brown but also 'purer'-they lie within thin slices of the visible spectrum. Overall, that color scheme is more developed in women, who naturally have a higher incid...

    Evolution is a fact. The evidence for it is simply overwhelming. However, the original mechanism that generates the evolutionary process, as first put forth simultaneously by Charles Darwin and Alfred R. Wallace and which became known as Natural Selection, has now been seen to be too simplistic by some scientists aside from the hard-core neo-Darwinists who insist that nothing w...
