The Variation of Animals and Plants under Domestication — Volume 2 by Darwin
"The Variation of Animals and Plants under Domestication — Volume 2" by Charles Darwin is a scientific work published in 1868. This comprehensive study presents detailed observations on domesticated animals and plants, documenting Darwin's extensive breeding experiments and correspondence with fellow naturalists. The work introduces Darwin's controversial theory of heredity called pangenesis, which he developed over many years. Born from material originally intended for a larger manuscript, this book represents over four
years of intensive labor, combining practical experimentation with theoretical insight into how traits pass from parents to offspring. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
