Contributions to the Theory of Natural Selection: A Series of Essays (Foundations in Biological Thought)

Science & Math

Wallace, Alfred Russel

Biological Sciences

Thomas Henry Huxley is best known for his staunch and vociferous defense of the works and reputation of his colleague and friend, Charles Darwin. However, Huxley was probably the most distinguished and accomplished comparative anatomist of the 19th century. Among his most influential conclusions was the fundamental association of birds and dinosaurs: a theory that has gained momentum again in recent decades. This book includes six lectures by Thomas Henry Huxley that clearly demonstrate his importance to scientific thought in his own right.This edition of Huxley's "An Introduction to the Classification of Animals" is the second entry in the Foundations of Biological Thought series published by Briar Bird Press. The series presents the pivotal works of 19th century naturalists remastered for modern readers. Meticulously edited, these volumes preserve the author's intent in design and content, including the manuscript's original annotations and amendments. In addition, revised page references and editor's notes are included throughout to retain the utility of the works for both study and reference.

An Introduction to the Classification of Animals

Thomas Henry Huxley

History

Henry Walter Bates (1825-1892) was a British naturalist and explorer with a keen interest in entomology. In fact, his interest in insects was so encompassing that in 1844 Bates inspired equal enthusiasm in his new colleague and friend, Alfred Russel Wallace. Four years later, Bates and Wallace embarked on an extended expedition to South America to explore and collect insect specimens for museums and private collectors back in England. The two naturalists traveled the Amazon rainforest together for about two years, and then struck off to different regions to pursue their own interests. Bates remained in South America longer than Wallace — a full 11 years — before returning to England in 1859. Back home, Bates reflected on his insect collections, and developed the first scientific account of mimicry in animals. Mimicry has since become a standard paradigm in biological thought, and concrete evidence for the theory of evolution by natural selection. Not surprisingly, it was Charles Darwin, himself, who encouraged Bates to publish “The Naturalist on the River Amazons.” The sumptuous depictions of his travels in South America provide an intriguing insight into both the perspective and aspirations of this man and his time.“The Naturalist on the River Amazons” was originally published as two volumes in 1863; however, only one year later, Bates published a much abridged second edition in a single volume that, unfortunately, has become the standard version in today’s marketplace. Now, Briar Bird Press is offering a return to the original two volume set. Volume I of "The Naturalist on the River Amazons" is the third entry in the Foundations of Biological Thought series; volume II will follow as Foundations of Biological Thought, no. 4. The series presents the pivotal works of 19th century naturalists remastered for modern readers. Meticulously edited, these volumes preserve the author's intent in design and content, including the manuscript's original annotations and amendments. In addition, revised page references and editor's notes are included throughout to retain the utility of the works for both study and reference.

History & Philosophy

Ernst Heinrich Haeckel (1834-1919) had an expansive collection of interests: embryology, comparative anatomy, marine biology, philosophy, medicine, and illustrative art. However, Haeckel's career was solidified upon reading "On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection" by Charles Darwin. He became a champion for the theory of evolution, and a professor of zoology at the University of Jena. Despite a position of prestige in the 19th century scientific community, Haeckel's works were not without controversy. He favored a belief in spontaneous generation: that organic life can arise from inorganic matter; and, his Biogenetic Law - embryological development (ontogeny) recapitulates adult stages of organisms from which it evolved (phylogeny) - has since become a biological myth. In "The History of Creation", Ernst Haeckel presents his views on his peers and their doctrines - often reverent, sometimes scathing - and his scientific perspectives of life on earth. "The History of Creation" was originally published as two volumes in 1880; however, it is often reprinted as a single unabridged volume. Now, Briar Bird Press is offering a return to the original two volume set. Volume I of "The History of Creation" is the fifth entry in the Foundations in Biological Thought series; volume II will be available as Foundations in Biological Thought, no. 7. The series presents the pivotal works of 19th century naturalists remastered for modern readers. Meticulously edited, these volumes preserve the author's intent in design and content, including the manuscript's original annotations and amendments. In addition, revised page references and editor's notes are included throughout to retain the utility of the works for both study and reference.

The History of Creation, Volume One (Foundations in Biological Thought)

Haeckel, Ernst Heinrich

Most people attribute evolutionary theory to Charles Darwin. In truth, he shares this honor with Alfred Russel Wallace. Darwin had been laboring over his ideas for two decades, and was not completed when he was forced to reveal his work early so as not to be outmatched by Wallace. Although intending to compile a more substantial volume, his colleagues encouraged him to publish a shorter version quickly: the first edition of "On the Origin of Species" in 1859. Few readers realize that the version of "Origin of Species" commonly seen in bookstores and schools is the sixth edition. Darwin made many alterations to his book over 14 years, mostly to quell criticisms raised by peers. However, academics do not agree on whether these accumulated changes actually adulterated Darwin’s original view on the evolutionary process. Did Darwin dilute the importance of natural selection in later editions? Did he waffle on the Earth’s age and, consequently, the time available for adaptive changes to occur? Did he fall back on old Lamarckian paradigms, such as importance of use and disuse, to counter recrimination? No doubt, to truly understand Darwin’s initial insight into his theory of evolution, one must read this first edition of "On the Origin of Species," which is available as the sixth entry in the Foundations in Biological Thought series. This series presents the pivotal works of 19th century naturalists remastered for modern readers. Meticulously edited, these volumes preserve the author's intent in design and content, including the manuscript's original annotations and amendments. In addition, revised page references and editor's notes are included throughout to retain the utility of the works for both study and reference.
