From:
Charles Robert Darwin
To:
Joseph Dalton Hooker
Date:
2 July [1859]
Source of text:
DAR 115: 19
Summary:

Returns JDH’s proofs. He is so involved in Origin he cannot judge force of JDH’s arguments. Some detailed comments.

Haldeman’s old paper [see 2470] clever, but does not have natural selection. Explaining adaptation has always seemed turning point of theory of natural selection.
