About this book

Darwin, and After Darwin is George John Romanes's clear exposition of the theory of evolution and the scientific debates that followed Charles Darwin's death. Romanes, who had been Darwin's friend and younger colleague, sets out the evidence for evolution and natural selection for the general reader, then examines the questions still left open, including how far natural selection alone could explain the origin of species. The work became a standard survey of Darwinian thought at the close of the nineteenth century, valued for its fairness and clarity. This free PDF and EPUB presents the text of Volumes One and Three, a thorough guide to evolutionary science as it stood in Darwin's immediate wake.
