| 1 | Creator: | Darwin, Charles, 1809-1882 | Requires cookie* | | | Title: | An Annotated Calendar of the Letters of Charles Darwin in the Library of the American Philosophical Society
| | | | Dates: | 1799-1882 | | | | Abstract: | One of the most important natural historians in nineteenth century Britain, Charles Darwin provided the first compelling mechanism to account for organismal evolutionary change. Although lacking a coherent model of heredity, Darwin's natural selection has exerted an enormous influence over the biological sciences and since the introduction of Mendelian genetics, had remained the key unifying principle in the discipline.
