This book was released on 2024-02-16 with total page 438 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Variation of Animals and Plants under Domestication: Volume II" by Charles Darwin is a seminal work that continues Darwin's exploration of the impact of artificial selection on the evolution of plants and animals. In this second volume, Darwin delves deeper into the principles of domestication, providing detailed observations and analysis. He examines the diverse ways in which humans have influenced the characteristics of domesticated species through selective breeding, drawing connections between the variation observed in nature and that which occurs under controlled human intervention. Darwin's meticulous study covers a wide range of topics, including the inheritance of acquired traits, the effects of domestication on fertility, and the role of hybridization in producing novel forms. Through a combination of empirical evidence and theoretical insights, Darwin contributes significantly to the understanding of the mechanisms that drive variability in domesticated organisms. "The Variation of Animals and Plants under Domestication: Volume II" remains an essential resource for those interested in the foundations of evolutionary biology, providing a comprehensive examination of the intricate relationship between humans and the species they have shaped through centuries of selective breeding.

Download or read book Unnatural Selection written by Katrina van Grouw and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2018-07-31 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A lavishly illustrated look at how evolution plays out in selective breeding Unnatural Selection is a stunningly illustrated book about selective breeding--the ongoing transformation of animals at the hand of man. More important, it's a book about selective breeding on a far, far grander scale—a scale that encompasses all life on Earth. We'd call it evolution. A unique fusion of art, science, and history, this book celebrates the 150th anniversary of Charles Darwin's monumental work The Variation of Animals and Plants under Domestication, and is intended as a tribute to what Darwin might have achieved had he possessed that elusive missing piece to the evolutionary puzzle—the knowledge of how individual traits are passed from one generation to the next. With the benefit of a century and a half of hindsight, Katrina van Grouw explains evolution by building on the analogy that Darwin himself used—comparing the selective breeding process with natural selection in the wild, and, like Darwin, featuring a multitude of fascinating examples. This is more than just a book about pets and livestock, however. The revelation of Unnatural Selection is that identical traits can occur in all animals, wild and domesticated, and both are governed by the same evolutionary principles. As van Grouw shows, animals are plastic things, constantly changing. In wild animals the changes are usually too slow to see—species appear to stay the same. When it comes to domesticated animals, however, change happens fast, making them the perfect model of evolution in action. Suitable for the lay reader and student, as well as the more seasoned biologist, and featuring more than four hundred breathtaking illustrations of living animals, skeletons, and historical specimens, Unnatural Selection will be enjoyed by anyone with an interest in natural history and the history of evolutionary thinking.
