     Extractions: Di fondamentale importanza fu l'opera di Charles Darwin (1809-1882) che dedicò tutta la vita a raccogliere materiale di studio, per giungere alla formulazione di una teoria dell'evoluzione che avesse un solido fondamento scientifico. Nel 1831 s'imbarcò come naturalista di bordo sul brigantino Beagle; il viaggio intorno al mondo durò quasi cinque anni, durante i quali Darwin raccolse un'ingente quantità di campioni ed eseguì numerose osservazioni, che costituirono la base per elaborare la teoria dell'evoluzione delle specie, contrapposta alla concezione "fissista". Contributi altrettanto importanti furono dati da Darwin con la messa a punto dei concetti di evoluzione ramificata, che implica la discendenza da un'origine comune di tutte le specie viventi, e di evoluzione graduale, contrapposta a quella a salti (mutazionismo) che sosteneva come una nuova specie si afferma attraverso una singola mutazione. Netta era l'esclusione di qualunque interpretazione di tipo finalistico, sostenuta da altre teorie evolutive (ad esempio quella di Lamarck): nella sua opera principale, On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, utilizzò sempre l'espressione "discendenza con modificazione", probabilmente perché riteneva che la parola "evoluzione" suggerisse un legame troppo stretto con il concetto di progresso.

     Extractions: Library Charles Darwin Dictionary Darwin, Charles Robert (1809-1882), English naturalist, author of the Origin of Species , was born at Shrewsbury on the 12th of February 1809. He was the younger of the two sons and the fourth child of Dr. Robert Waring Darwin, son of Dr. Erasmus Darwin. His mother, a daughter of Josiah Wedgwood (1730-1795), died when Charles Darwin was eight years old. Charles Darwin’s elder brother, Erasmus Alvey (1804—1881), was interested in literature and art rather than science: on the subject of the wide difference between the brothers Charles wrote that he was “inclined to agree with Francis Galton in believing that education and environment produce only a small effect on the mind of anyone, and that most of our qualities are innate” ( Life and Letters , London, 1887). Darwin considered that his own success was chiefly due to “the love of science, unbounded patience in long reflecting over any subject, industry in observing and collecting facts, and a fair share of invention as well as of common sense “. He also says: “I have steadily endeavored to keep my mind free so as to give up any hypothesis, however much beloved (and I cannot resist forming one on every subject), as soon as facts are shown to be opposed to it“. The essential causes of his success are to be found in this latter sentence, the creative genius ever inspired by existing knowledge to build, hypotheses by whose aid further knowledge could be won, the calm unbiased mind, the transparent honesty and love of truth which enabled him to abandon or to modify his own creations when they ceased to be supported by observation.

Length: 477 pages Availability: The Origin of Species - US The Origin of Species - UK The Origin of Species - Canada - France - Deutschland Darwin revised the book several times in later editions. The 1st edition (reviewed here) is considered the most interesting and useful of these (an opinion with which we concur). However, readers should realize that it is not Darwin's "last word" though it is his strongest and clearest statement of his theory of Natural Selection

He firmly established the theory of organic evolution known as Darwinism . He studied medicine at Edinburgh and for the ministry at Cambridge but lost interest in both professions during the training. His interest in natural history led to his friendship with the botanist J. S. Henslow Beagle. This started Darwin on a career of accumulating and assimilating data that resulted in the formulation of his concept of evolution. He spent the remainder of his life carefully and methodically working over the information from his copious notes and from every other available source. Independently, A. R.

     Extractions: British naturalist who revolutionized biology with his theory of evolution through natural selection. He also speculated, in a letter to the botanist Joseph Hooker (1871), on the possibility of a chemical origin for life: Recognizing, however, that the science of his time was not yet ready for such a concept, he added: It is mere rubbish thinking at present of the origin of life; one might as well think of the origin of matter.

     Extractions: DARWIN, CHARLES ROBERT The appearance of Charles Darwin has been made well known in numerous portraits and statues. He was tall and thin, being about six feet high, but looked less because of a stoop, which increased towards the end of his life. As a young man he had been active,with considerable powers of endurance, and possessed in a marked degree those qualities of eye and hand which make the successful sportsman. Charles Darwin was honored by the chief societies of the civilized world. He was made a knight of the Prussian order, Pour le Mrite, in 1867, a corresponding member of the Berlin Academy of Sciences in 1863, a fellow in 1878, and later in the same year a corresponding member of the French Institute in the botanical section. He received the Bressa prize of the Royal Academy of Turin, and the Baly medal of the Royal College of Physicians in 1879, the Wollaston medal of the Geological Society in 1859, a Royal medal of the Royal Society in 1853, and the Copley medal in 1864. His health prevented him from accepting the honorary degree which Oxford University wished to confer on him, but his own university had stronger claims, and he received its honorary LL.D. in 1877. Two daughters and five sons survived him, four of the latter becoming prominent in the scientific world,Sir George Howard (b. 1845), who became professor of astronomy and experimental philosophy at Cambridge in 1883; Francis (b. 1848), the distinguished botanist; Leonard (b. 1850), a major in the royal engineers, and afterwards well known as an economist; and Horace (b. 1851), civil engineer.

     Extractions: Classics in the History of Psychology An internet resource developed by Christopher D. Green York University, Toronto, Ontario (Return to Classics index A Biographical Sketch of an Infant Charles Darwin (1877) First published in Mind M. Taine's very interesting account of the mental development of an infant, translated in the last number of MIND (p. 252), has led me to look over a diary which I kept thirty-seven years ago with respect to one of my own infants. I had excellent opportunities for close observation, and wrote down at once whatever was observed. My chief object was expression, and my notes were used in my book on this subject; but as I attended to some other points, my observations may possibly possess some little interest in comparison with those by M. Taine, and with others which hereafter no doubt will be made. I feel sure, from what I have seen with my own infants, that the period of development of the several faculties will be found to differ considerably in different infants. With respect to vision, - his eyes were fixed on a candle as early as the 9th day, and up to the 45th day nothing else seemed thus to fix them; but on the 49th day his attention was attracted by a bright-coloured tassel, as was shown by his eyes becoming fixed and the movements of his arms ceasing. It was surprising how slowly he acquired the power of following with his eyes an object if swinging at all rapidly; for he could not do this well when seven and a half months old. At the age of 32 days he perceived his mother's bosom when three or four inches from it, as was shown by the protrusion of his lips and his eyes becoming fixed; but I much doubt whether this had any connection with vision; he certainly had not touched the bosom. Whether he was guided through smell or the sensation of warmth or through association with the position in which he was held, I do not at all know.
