$130 · Offered by eBay · No longer available
This is a handsome late-19th-century American printing of Darwin’s groundbreaking work on human evolution and sexual selection—the follow-up to On the Origin of Species. It features the full revised text with Darwin’s updates and augmentations. 1887 Appleton printings are desirable early American editions of Darwin’s key work. They capture the revised text Darwin finalized in his later years and were widely read in the U.S. during a time when evolutionary ideas were still sparking debate. This one-volume format made it more accessible than the earlier two-volume sets.
