On the Movements and Habits of Climbing Plants

Beschreibung

Darwin's 1865 study of the mechanics of climbing plants shows the development of his ideas about adaptation and environment. Inspired by the work of the botanist Asa Gray, Darwin examined a variety of plants and was fascinated by their different methods of climbing: by twisting stem, leaf, tendril or root.

Autor

CHARLES DARWIN (1809-1882), English scientist, naturalist, and geologist, revolutionized science, especially biology, with his theory of evolution through natural selection. As a passenger aboard the Beagle, Darwin became intrigued by the existence of different species in different geographical locations, which aided in the development of his theory. In addition to The Origin of Species, he is also remembered for The Voyage of the Beagle, and The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals.
