Darwin and Wallace's original papers to the Linnean Society (published 1858) are fascinating reads, showing how they each developed the concept of natural selection. The foreword by Lyell and Hooker makes clear that Darwin was very reluctant to publish!

Both mention artificial selection, but Wallace uses the tendency of domesticated animals to "return to type" in the wild - seen at the time as some sort of stabilising force against change - to bolster the idea of natural selection.

On the tendency of species to form varieties; and on the perpetuation of varieties and species by natural means of selection. Journal of the Proceedings of the Linnean Society, Zoology. 3:45-62, 1858-9

Da ja hier nur weltfremde Nerds sind 😉 , mal eine weltfremde, nerdige Frage: welche Ausgabe von Darwins "Die Entstehung der Arten" ist die beste für einen normalen™ Leser, der oder die das einfach mal gelesen haben will.
Auf deutsch und bitte eine kommentierte Ausgabe. Ich habe das hier bei Wiley-VCH gefunden:
https://www.wiley-vch.de/de?option=com_eshop&view=product&isbn=9783527333608&title=Charles%20Darwin%3A%20Die%20Entstehung%20der%20Arten
Aber gibt es eventuell eine bessere, neuere, besser übersetzte, vielleicht etwas bahn-kompatiblere, d.h. kompaktere Ausgabe? Empfehlungen?

🔎 Song-Zhi Xu et al. take #China as an example and propose a new #System for presuming the native and exotic status of species based on previous systems, and is summarized as #Historical, #Biogeographical, #Ecological and #Genetic criteria (HBEG system), which allows the determination of the origin status of individual taxa in China.🗺️
