Darwin's 'The Descent of Man' (1871). Title page for volume one of 'The Descent of Man and Selection in Relation to Sex' (1871) by British naturalist Charles Darwin (1809-1882). This work was published in two volumes: 'On The Descent of Man' and 'Sexual Selection'. In these volumes, Darwin wrote on aspects of his evolutionary theory, including sexual selection and natural selection. He also discussed evolutionary psychology, evolutionary ethics, and differences in human races and sexes. Darwin's most famous work, 'On the Origin of Species', had been published in 1859 and had caused a storm of controversy with Christian orthodoxy. By the time of this later work, Darwin's theories were more widely accepted. | |
