Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Wanderings of Plants and Animals From Their First Home That the animal and vegetable worlds - that is to say, the whole physiognomy of life, labour, and landscape in a country - may, in the course of centuries, be changed under the hand of Man is an experimental fact that, especially since the discovery of America, cannot be contradicted. During the, last three centuries - in a purely historical period, since the invention of printing, and in full view of the civilized world - the native animals and plants in newly discovered islands and in the colonized countries of the Western Hemisphere have been sup planted by those of europe, or by a flora and fauna collected from all parts of the globe. In St. Helena, for instance, the aboriginal wild vegetation has retreated to the mountains in the interior of the island, driven in by an advancing circle of novel plants which came over the ocean in the train of Europeans. In the pampas of Buenos Ayres, for miles together, we meet with scarcely one indigenous plant; they have all succumbed to the usurpation of plants introduced from Europe.

This book was released on 1976-01-01 with total page 598 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New edition, prepared with a bio-bibliographical account of Hehn and a survay of the research into Indo-European prehistory by James P. Mallory. It was Hehn who for the first time combined the tools of comparative linguistics and the direct historical approach in order to discover the origins of domesticated animals and cultivated plants in the ancient world, tracing their diffusion from one culture to another. Hehn abandoned his contemporaries'often idealized and nationalistic image of the ancient Indo-Europeans, seeking instead to reconstruct early Indo-European society in agreement with the ethnological research of his day.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Virtually unknown today, Alfred Russel Wallace was the co-discoverer of natural selection with Charles Darwin and an eminent scientist who stood out among his Victorian peers as a man of formidable mind and equally outsized personality. Now Michael Shermer rescues Wallace from the shadow of Darwin in this landmark biography. Here we see Wallace as perhaps the greatest naturalist of his age--spending years in remote jungles, collecting astounding quantities of specimens, writing thoughtfully and with bemused detachment at his reception in places where no white man had ever gone. Here, too, is his supple and forceful intelligence at work, grappling with such arcane problems as the bright coloration of caterpillars, or shaping his 1858 paper on natural selection that prompted Darwin to publish (with Wallace) the first paper outlining the theory of evolution. Shermer also shows that Wallace's self-trained intellect, while powerful, also embraced surprisingly naive ideas, such as his deep interest in the study of spiritual manifestations and seances. Shermer shows that the same iconoclastic outlook that led him to overturn scientific orthodoxy as he worked in relative isolation also led him to embrace irrational beliefs, and thus tarnish his reputation. As author of Why People Believe Weird Things and founding publisher of Skeptic magazine, Shermer is an authority on why people embrace the irrational. Now he turns his keen judgment and incisive analysis to Wallace's life and his contradictory beliefs, restoring a leading figure in the rise of modern science to his rightful place.
