What reading level is Charles Darwin And the Theory of Natural Selection book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
* This letter was written from Elizabeth Bay, and is dated May, 1860, evidently just after the first edition of the " Origin, " a copy of which had been sent by Robert Lowe, had been read by Macleay.
"Again if this primordial cell had a Creator, as Darwin seems to admit, I do not see what we gain by denying the Creator, as Darwin does, all management of it after its creation. Lamarck was more logical in supposing it to have existed of itself from all eternity indeed this is the principal differ...ence that I see between this theory of Darwin's and that of Lamarck, who propounded everything essential in the former theory, in a work now rather rare his ' Philosophic Zoologique. ' But you may see an abridgment of it in so common a book as his ' Histoire Nat. Des Animaux Vertebres, ' vol. I. , pp. 188, et seq. Edit. 1818, where the examples given of natural selection are the gasteropod molluscs. . . . Natural selection (some- times called 'struggles' by Darwin) is identical with the 'Besoins des Choses' of Lamarck, who, by means of his hypothesis, for instance, assigns the constant stretching of the neck to reach the acacia leaves as the cause of the extreme length of it in the giraffe ; much in the same way the black bear, according to Darwin, became a whale, which I believe as little as his other assertion that our progenitors anciently had gills only they had dropped off by want of use in the course of myriads of generations.
