Charles Robert Darwin
To:
Nature
Date:
5 Nov [1880]
Source of text:
Nature , 11 November 1880, p. 32
Summary:

Sir Wyville Thomson misunderstands natural selection when he says the theory "refers the evolution of species to extreme variation guided only by natural selection". CD demurs at the "extreme variation" and the "only". No one has said evolution depends only on natural selection. CD has adduced many facts on the effects of use and disuse and on the direct action of the environment.
