Natural selection was only the beginning of the argument. In this second volume, Romanes lays out the Darwinian theory in full and takes up the questions it left open, weighing heredity, variation, and the disputes that followed. Rigorous and clear-eyed. Follow the debate that shaped evolutionary science after its founder.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
