On Darwin's principle of divergence a comment
pp. 133-136
Résumé
In a valuable article on "the theories to work by" that Darwin formulated from 1835 to 1838 to account for the origination and extinction of species in nature,1 David Kohn gave an impressive panorama of Darwin's intellectual development during that period. This work, which paid meticulous attention to Darwin's scientific theorizing, is the most accurate and reliable account of Darwin's views regarding adaptation, variations, and speciation before coming to Malthus, and shed new light on the Malthusian impact.
