About This Item
First Edition thus, with frontispiece, colored plates and numerous technical illustrations in the text; green pictorial cloth, upper board and backstrip lettered in gilt, green top, a near fine copy in a Good publisher's board slip-case - there was the beginning of some splitting to the edge near the bottom, but I repaired that.
Synopsis
The Descent of Man, and Selection in Relation to Sex is a book on evolutionary theory by English naturalist Charles Darwin, first published in 1871. It was Darwin's second great book on evolutionary theory, following his 1859 work, On The Origin of Species. In The Descent of Man, Darwin applies evolutionary theory to human evolution, and details his theory of sexual selection.
