The series is now in its second edition and contains 60 volumes. Volume 49 served the history, philosophy and works of Charles Darwin, the first of the evolutionary biologists, the originator of the concept of natural selection. His principal works, The Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection (1859) and The Descent of Man (1871) marked a new epoch. His works were violently attacked and energetically defended, then; and, it seems, yet today.
