The Variation of Animals and Plants under Domestication (1868) is Darwin’s massive follow-up to the Origin: dogs, pigeons, cattle, wheat and roses examined for what artificial selection reveals about variation itself — plus ‘pangenesis’, his brave, wrong hypothesis of heredity.

The fullest evidence Darwin ever assembled, and a fascinating near-miss at genetics. Download the free EPUB.
