As a young boy, Charles Darwin hated school and was often scolded forconducting “useless” experiments. Yet his passion for the natural world was so strong that he suffered through terrible seasickness during his five-year voyage aboard The Beagle. Darwin collected new creatures from the coasts of Africa, South America, and the Galapagos Islands, and expanded his groundbreaking ideas that would change people's understanding of the natural world. About 100 illustrations and a clear, exciting text will make Darwin and his theory of evolution an exciting discovery for every young reader.

This is an annotated version of the book1.contains an updated biography of the author at the end of the book for a better understanding of the text.2.This book has been checked and corrected for spelling errorsWhen on board H.M.S. 'Beagle,' as naturalist, I was much struck withcertain facts in the distribution of the inhabitants of South America,and in the geological relations of the present to the past inhabitantsof that continent. These facts seemed to me to throw some light on theorigin of species--that mystery of mysteries, as it has been called byone of our greatest philosophers. On my return home, it occurred to me,in 1837, that something might perhaps be made out on this question bypatiently accumulating and reflecting on all sorts of facts which couldpossibly have any bearing on it. After five years' work I allowed myselfto speculate on the subject, and drew up some short notes; these Ienlarged in 1844 into a sketch of the conclusions, which then seemed tome probable: from that period to the present day I have steadily pursuedthe same object. I hope that I may be excused for entering on thesepersonal details, as I give them to show that I have not been hasty incoming to a decision.My work is now nearly finished; but as it will take me two or three moreyears to complete it, and as my health is far from strong, I have beenurged to publish this Abstract. I have more especially been induced todo this, as Mr. Wallace, who is now studying the natural history ofthe Malay archipelago, has arrived at almost exactly the same generalconclusions that I have on the origin of species. Last year he sent tome a memoir on this subject, with a request that I would forward itto Sir Charles Lyell, who sent it to the Linnean Society, and it ispublished in the third volume of the Journal of that Society. Sir C.Lyell and Dr. Hooker, who both knew of my work--the latter having readmy sketch of 1844--honoured me by thinking it advisable to publish, withMr. Wallace's excellent memoir, some brief extracts from my manuscripts.This Abstract, which I now publish, must necessarily be imperfect. Icannot here give references and authorities for my several statements;and I must trust to the reader reposing some confidence in my accuracy.No doubt errors will have crept in, though I hope I have always beencautious in trusting to good authorities alone. I can here give onlythe general conclusions at which I have arrived, with a few facts inillustration, but which, I hope, in most cases will suffice. No one canfeel more sensible than I do of the necessity of hereafter publishing indetail all the facts, with references, on which my conclusions have beengrounded; and I hope in a future work to do this. For I am well awarethat scarcely a single point is discussed in this volume on which factscannot be adduced, often apparently leading to conclusions directlyopposite to those at which I have arrived. A fair result can be obtainedonly by fully stating and balancing the facts and arguments on bothsides of each question; and this cannot possibly be here done.I much regret that want of space prevents my having the satisfaction ofacknowledging the generous assistance which I have received from verymany naturalists, some of them personally unknown to me. I cannot,however, let this opportunity pass without expressing my deepobligations to Dr. Hooker, who for the last fifteen years has aided mein every possible way by his large stores of knowledge and his excellentjudgment.

My earliest recollection, the date of which I can approximately tell, and which must have been before I was four years old, was when sitting on Caroline's (Caroline Darwin) knee in the drawing room, whilst she was cutting an orange for me, a cow ran by the window which made me jump, so that I received a bad cut, of which I bear the scar to this day. Of this scene I recollect the place where I sat and the cause of the fright, but not the cut itself, and I think my memory is real, and not as often happens in similar cases, {derived} from hearing the thing often repeated, {when} one obtains so vivid an image, that it cannot be separated from memory: because I clearly remember which way the cow ran, which would not probably have been told me. My memory here is an obscure picture, in which from not recollecting any pain I am scarcely conscious of its reference to myself.

In this brilliant presentation of a revolutionary thinker's life, the picture book becomes an art form As far as I can judge, I am not apt to follow blindly the lead of other men . . . Charles Darwin was, above all else, an independent thinker who continues even now to influence the way we look at the natural world. His endless curiosity and passion for detail resulted in a wealth of notebooks, diaries, correspondence, and published writings that Peter Sís transforms into a visual treasure trove. A multilayered journey through Darwin's world, The Tree of Life begins with his childhood and traces the arc of his life through university and career, following him around the globe on the voyage of the Beagle, and home to a quiet but momentous life devoted to science and family. Sís uses his own singular vision to create a gloriously detailed panorama of a genius scientist's trajectory through investigating and understanding the mysteries of nature and evolution. In pictures executed in fine pen and ink and lush watercolors – cameo portraits, illustrated pages of diary, cutaway views of the Beagle, as well as charts, maps, and a gatefold spread – Peter Sís, the author of The Wall, Starry Messenger, Tibet, Madlenka, and The Pilot and the Little Prince, has shaped a wondrous introduction to Charles Darwin.

MANY works have been written on Expression, but a greater number on Physiognomy, that is, on the recognition of character through the study of the permanent form of the features. With this latter subject I am not here concerned. The older treatises, which I have consulted, have been of little or no service to me. The famous 'Conferences' of the painter Le Brun, published in 1667, is the best known ancient work, and contains some good remarks. Another somewhat old essay, namely, the 'Discours, ' delivered 1774-1782, by the well-known Dutch anatomist Camper, can hardly be considered as having made any marked advance in the subject. The following works, on the contrary, deserve the fullest consideration

18th Century Europe: Superstition is giving way to the force of reason, and no man so fully embodies the spirit of the times as Dr Erasmus Darwin. Thinker, healer, and explorer of he seemingly supernatural, no mystery can stand for long against Darwin's enlightened analysis. And there are more mysteries than history records... For Erasmus Darwin's world is filled with oddities that most cannot believe: from unknown beings lurking just outside the boundaries of civilization, to mysterious deaths that give rise to fears of malevolent sorcery. And when the renowned Dr Darwin is called upon to heal a man dying of an ailment that seems impossible, he has no idea that it is the beginning of a quest that will lead him to the darkest corners of Europe, and an encounter with the most famous inhabitant of a certain Scottish loch...
