This book examines the lives and contributions of Charles Darwin and Alexander von Humboldt, the two naturalists whose work radically transformed biological science in the nineteenth century. The author provides a detailed account of each man's background, influences, travels, and scientific discoveries. Particular attention is paid to Darwin's development of the theory of evolution by natural selection and Humboldt's pioneering work in the field of biogeography. The book also explores the broader intellectual and cultural contexts of their work, examining the debates and controversies that surrounded their theories and the impact their ideas had on scientific thought and beyond.
