The Development of Darwin's Theory Paperback: Natural History, Natural Theology, and Natural Selection, 1838–1859 - Softcover
Inhaltsangabe
In this book, one of the most influential books about Darwin published in recent years, Ospovat shows that Darwin's views changed radically from his first formulation of evolution by natural selection to the publication of the Origin of Species in 1859. By firmly placing Darwin within the intellectual milieu of his day, Ospovat concludes that he was not the recluse of popular myth. This seminal work should be read by all those interested in the history of modern biology.

Contraportada
The period examined is that between 1838, by which time Darwin had formulated his theory of evolution by natural selection, and 1859, when the Origin of Species was published. Ospovat examines this period in detail and shows that Darwin's views changed quite radically from initially believing that animals and plants were perfectly adapted to their environments, and that evolution only occurred when the environment changed, to believing that living things were not perfectly adapted, were in constant competition with each other, and hence were continually evolving.
