He'd been reworking his notes since the 1830s, but only with trepidation did he finally publish <I>The Descent of Man</I> in 1871. The book notoriously put apes in our family tree & made the races one family, diversified by sexual selection & Darwin's provocative theory that female choice among competing males leads to diverging racial characteristics. Tho less well known than <I>The Origin of Species</I>, <I>The Descent of Man</I> continues to shape the way we think about what it is that makes us uniquely human. 728232 1871 The Descent of Man total:173|5:60|4:58|3:45|2:8|1:2| 173 685 371 16 185407 0140436316 9780140436310 158 15 3.96 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1172525912m/185407.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/185407.The_Descent_of_Man 5 1 false Sat Feb 09 19:06:05 -0800 2008 Sat Jun 07 12:32:14 -0700 2008 more...]]> 185407 0140436316 9780140436310 158 15 3.96 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1172525912m/185407.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/185407.The_Descent_of_Man 4 0 false Wed Oct 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Fri Jul 24 13:43:33 -0700 2009 Wed Jul 29 14:53:04 -0700 2009 Homo sapiens, but rather an interesting chance to analyse the perspectives and teachings of the day, and what they ca...more...]]> 185407 0140436316 9780140436310 158 15 3.96 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1172525912m/185407.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/185407.The_Descent_of_Man 3 0 false Sat Sep 05 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Thu Apr 09 10:04:49 -0700 2009 Sat Sep 05 01:27:31 -0700 2009 1) "I may remark before proceeding that, ...the facts are so complex and the conclusions so doubtful, that any one who feels no especial interest in the subject had b...more...]]> 185407 0140436316 9780140436310 158 15 3.96 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1172525912m/185407.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/185407.The_Descent_of_Man 4 0 false Fri Oct 02 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Fri Aug 07 03:34:34 -0700 2009 Fri Oct 02 03:04:03 -0700 2009
