DCP-LETT-3036

From:
Joseph Dalton Hooker
To:
Charles Robert Darwin
Date:
[11 May – 3 Dec 1860]
Source of text:
DAR 205.5: 217 (Letters), DAR 47: 214
Summary:

CD’s divergent series explains those anomalous plants that hover between what would otherwise be two species in a genus.

Inclined to see conifers as a sub-series of dicotyledons that developed in parallel to monocotyledons, but retained cryptogamic characters.

Mentions H. C. Watson’s view of variations.

Man has destroyed more species than he has created varieties.

Variations are centrifugal because the chances are a million to one that identity of form once lost will return.

In the human race, we find no reversion "that would lead us to confound a man with his ancestors".
