Darwin's "Origin of the Species": An Evolutionary Progression of Concepts
[ send me this paper ]
A 10 page discussion of the first eight chapters of Charles Darwin's "Origin of the Species". Presents the thesis that "Origin of the Species" itself is a product of evolutionary progression of thought. The first two-thirds of the book, Chapters 1 through 4, introduce Darwin's most basic evolutionary thoughts while the subsequent chapters 5 through 8 introduce the more complex concepts of Darwin's evolutionary theory. These chapters also show a correlation with the thoughts and work of others of Darwin's time, a correlation which builds rather than diminishes as the book moves from introduction to conclusion. These influences themselves can be contended to be environmental factors in shaping the final layout of "Origin of the Species". Bibliography lists 7 sources.
