About the Book

The Descent of Man and Selection in Relation to Sex is a book written by the renowned naturalist Charles Darwin. In this book, Darwin discusses the evolution of humans and the role of sexual selection in the process of natural selection. He argues that humans, like all other species, have evolved over time through the process of natural selection, which involves the survival of the fittest. However, he also suggests that sexual selection, or the selection of mates based on certain physical or behavioral traits, has played a significant role in shaping human evolution. The book is divided into two parts. The first part focuses on the evolution of humans and their relationship to other animals. Darwin discusses the similarities and differences between humans and other primates, as well as the evolution of human intelligence, emotions, and morality. He also explores the concept of race and the idea that all humans are descended from a common ancestor.The second part of the book focuses on sexual selection and its role in evolution. Darwin argues that sexual selection can lead to the development of exaggerated physical or behavioral traits that are not necessarily useful for survival, but are attractive to potential mates. He also discusses the differences between male and female reproductive strategies and how these strategies have influenced the evolution of sexual dimorphism in many species, including humans.Overall, The Descent of Man and Selection in Relation to Sex is a groundbreaking work that helped to shape our understanding of human evolution and the role of sexual selection in the process. It remains an important and influential book in the field of biology and continues to be studied and debated by scientists and scholars today.In the discussion on Sexual Selection in my 'Descent of Man, ' no case interested and perplexed me so much as the brightly-coloured hinder ends and adjoining parts of certain monkeys. As these parts are more brightly coloured in one sex than the other, and as they become more brilliant during the season of love, I concluded that the colours had been gained as a sexual attraction.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work
