DCP-LETT-2461

From:
Charles Robert Darwin
To:
Joseph Dalton Hooker
Date:
11 May [1859]
Source of text:
DAR 115: 15
Summary:

JDH finds style of CD’s MS obscure.

CD wary of JDH’s starting point on variability: it is not inherent, it does not lead necessarily to divergence, and it must be distinguished from inheritance.

Asa Gray has misread CD’s views on pre-glacial migrations and botched the subject.
