Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This comprehensive guide focuses on the factors influencing evolution through the perspectives of racial and habitudinal segregation. The author examines the perceived inadequacy of natural and sexual selection as primary drivers of evolutionary divergence, particularly in cases involving non-utilitarian characteristics and divergence under similar environmental conditions. This work delves into the complex and multifaceted nature of evolution, offering an in-depth exploration of the mechanisms that shape the diversity of life forms and the implications of these processes for our understanding of the natural world. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.

Hardcover. Condición: Very Good. No Jacket. 2nd Edition. I am pleased to offer a rather scarce work about the theories around evolution from the turn of the century (1905). The book is titled: Evolution, Racial and Habitudinal by the Rev. John T. Gulick. Wikipedia has a small reference to the Author which I excerpt here below (with my thanks): John Thomas Gulick (March 13, 1832 April 14, 1923) was an American missionary and naturalist from Hawaii. He was one of the pioneers of modern evolutionary thinking based on his studies of Hawaiian snails of the genus Achatinella. He was among the first to describe the formation of species through geographic separation of breeding populations. He developed early ideas on the founder effect and what is now known as the Baldwin effect. He coined the term divergent evolution . This medium-sized hardcover book (7 ? x 10 inches, 269 pages) was published by the Carnegie Institution of Washington, D.C. dated August, 1905 as their Publication No. 25. The book is bound in dark brown pebbled cloth with black cloth quarter spine and corners and a paper title panel paste-down on the spine. It is ex-library having been duly deaccessioned and is so marked. Please see the photos of the Table of Contents for your further information. The book includes a number (4) of colored plates featuring images of the land snails of Hawaii on which his theories are based. Condition: This book is in very good condition. As a former library book it bears the usual markings including a shelf number and a paste-down hand-made spine label. There are also several other instances of library markings but nothing too significant. The front endpaper is fragile and loose but laid-in and has some chips and tears. These library markings are the only ones I found, and the interior pages are generally clean and bright and devoid of toning or foxing. Both hinges are cracked but the binding still feels reasonably tight.…

Condición: Very good. First Edition. A late work summarizing Gulick's views on divergent evolution with what might today be called "contingency": "members of the same species, exposed to the same environment in isolated groups, will often arrive at divergent methods of dealing with the environment." He goes on to conclude that the assumption that "human progress is ruled by an external fate is certainly contrary to fact" (from the preface). At the end of the preface, he explains his subtitle more thoroughly: "the origin and intensification of organic types, guided by innovation and tradition acting under segregate association, and established by variation and heredity acting under segregate intergeneration." Gulick was a minister who studied snails in Hawaii and became a noted evolutionary theorist. This is Carnegie Institution of Washington publication no. 25. xii, 269 pages. Plus three color plates of Hawaiian land snail shells. Originally issued in wrappers, this copy has been rebound in green cloth, preserving the front wrapper with the ownership signature of William Morton Wheeler, the Harvard entomologist. Light pencil underlining by Wheeler or a subsequent owner. This copy came from the Harvard office of the National Book Award winning scientist, Stephen Jay Gould (the annotations are not likely to be his). With posthumous a bookplate indicating the provenance on the front pastedown. …

First Edition. "After his retirement Gulick wrote out a larger statement of his evolutionary ideas, Evolution, Racial and Habitudinal (1905) [offered here]. This work incorporated his efforts to apply the mathematical theory of probability to his evolutionary problems and introduced principles for understanding the development of human civilization analogous to, but distinct from, those applicable to biological evolution. Born in the year of Cuvier s death [1832], Gulick lived to see--and applaud--the introduction of Mendelism in biology. His career spanned and exemplified first the age of the naturalist explorers, then the period of ambitious and often contentious evolutionary theorizing that marked the decades around 1900. Viewed as a revisionist by some Darwinians, Gulick nevertheless remained loyal to Darwinian natural selection in the face of challenges from de Vries's mutation theory and other quarters after 1900. His emphasis on isolation as a necessary complement to selection helped open the way for studies that formed part of the synthetic theory of evolution" (John E. Lesch, in Dictionary of Scientific Biography, vol. 17: 372-373).…
