About This Book

A biography traces the subject’s family background and childhood, describes schooling and early scientific interests, and follows the extended naval voyage that supplied diverse observations of geology, biogeography, and human cultures. It then recounts the return years of correspondence with leading scientists, the publication of geological and natural-history papers, and the patient, long-term investigation and synthesis that produced a revolutionary explanatory framework for species and human origins. The narrative emphasizes the subject’s observational breadth, methodical labor, sympathy for living beings, and the role of specific field experiences in shaping later scientific thought.
