Synopsis

"If we choose to let conjecture run wild, then animals, our fellow brethren in pain, disease, death, suffering and famine-our slaves in the most laborious works, our companions in our amusements-they may partake from our origin in one common ancestor-we may be all melted together." -Charles Darwin, The Life and Letters of Charles Darwin, Volume II (1896)

The Life and Letters of Charles Darwin, including an Autobiographical (Two Volumes in One) (1896) is a compilation of letters written by Darwin, as well as an autobiographical chapter intended less for publication and more to inform his children and grandchildren. It also focuses on the foundations, growth, and writing of The Origin of Species. This glimpse into Darwin's early years as a naturalist and of his family life is a must read for all who love science and history.

A propos du livre

À propos de l?auteur

CHARLES DARWIN (1809-1882), English scientist, naturalist, and geologist, revolutionized science, especially biology, with his theory of evolution through natural selection. As a passenger aboard the Beagle, Darwin became intrigued by the existence of different species in different geographical locations, which aided in the development of his theory. In addition to The Origin of Species, he is also remembered for The Voyage of the Beagle, and The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals.
