Darwin applies his theory of evolution to the origin of our species and argues that humans share a common ancestor with other animals. He analyzes the diversity among human populations, the development of mental and moral faculties, and the role of sexual selection in physical differences.
German edition with an introduction by Christian Vogel, published by Kröner in 2002. The original title of the work is The Descent of Man (1871).
Reference work for biology students and readers interested in the classics of evolutionary thought.
Charles Robert Darwin was an English naturalist, geologist, and biologist, widely known for his contributions to evolutionary biology. His proposition that all species of life have descended from a common ancestor is now generally accepted and considered a fundamental scientific concept. In a joint presentation with Alfred Russel Wallace, he introduced his scientific theory that this branching pattern of evolution resulted from a process he called natural selection, in which the struggle for existence has a similar effect to the artificial selection involved in selective breeding. Darwin has been described as one of the most influential figures in human history and was honoured by burial in Westminster Abbey.
