DCP-LETT-3812

From:
Charles Robert Darwin
To:
Joseph Dalton Hooker
Date:
18 [Nov 1862]
Source of text:
DAR 115: 170
Summary:

A German scholar says JDH first applied natural selection to replacement of races of men, the ruder races of Polynesians yielding to civilised Europeans. CD cannot remember reading this.

Warns JDH to take care Welwitschia does not turn into a case of barnacles and consume years instead of months.

In what months do flowers appear in Acropera loddigesia and A. luteola? CD is alarmed by John Scott’s observations on them, which differ from his own. "I am very uneasy."
