From:
Charles Robert Darwin
To:
Joseph Dalton Hooker
Date:
21 Aug 1881
Source of text:
DAR 95: 528–9
Summary:

No one could have thought about evolution and not about representative species; yet no one discussed it fully until Origin, including von Baer.

Did not know of Leopold von Buch’s Description physique des îles Canaries [1836] when Origin was published.

"As far as I know no one ever discussed the meaning of the relation between representative species before I did & as I suppose Wallace did in his paper before the Linn. Soc. [1858]."
