About this book
In the late 19th century, a profound shift in understanding the natural world emerged as Charles Darwin delved into the complexities of domestication. In "The Variation of Animals and Plants Under Domestication, Volume II," Darwin meticulously examines the intricate mechanisms of inheritance and variation that shape domestic species. He presents compelling evidence of artificial selection, revealing how human intervention alters traits in both animals and plants. This groundbreaking work is essential for students, researchers, and civic activists interested in genetics, agriculture, and biodiversity. By unpacking the nuances of domesticated species, Darwin lays the groundwork for modern evolutionary biology, inviting readers to explore the interconnectedness of life and the impact of human choices on nature.
