The Evolution Theory. Translated With the Author's Co-operation by J. Arthur Thomson and Margaret R. Thomson; Volume 2

This classic work of evolutionary biology lays out the basis for the theory of evolution by natural selection. August Weismann presents a detailed analysis of the principles of inheritance, variation, and adaptation, and explains how they interact to drive evolutionary change. The book also engages with contemporary debates about the relationship between science and religion. This is a foundational text for anyone interested in evolutionary biology or the history of science.
