| | Author: | Darwin, Charles, 1809-1882 | | | | | Naturalist. Darwin was independently wealthy and pursued much of his work at home, in Kent. His travels with the Beagle, 1831-1836, set the stage for his later studies in geology, zoology, and botany. Subsequent to the publication of The Origin of Species in 1859, he was made an honorary member (1861) of the London Ethnological Society. Darwin did not specifically write upon human evolution until the later 1860s, when The Descent of Man was composed (published 1871), followed in 1872 by Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals. Both books were influential upon later writing and research in anthropology. | |

| | | | Type: | Collection | | | | Format: | Manuscripts | | | | Language: | English | | | | Dates: | 1837-1882 | | | | Extent: | Approximately 950 items | | | | Abstract: | The American Philosophical Society Library holds an extensive collection of Darwin letters, either in original or photo-copy form. The manuscript letter collection includes approximately 730 Darwin letters (B D25.m, B D25.L, B D25.L1, B D25.r, B D25.1-361). The large groups of letters are to Charles Lyell and to George Romanes. The Library also holds photocopy or microfilm copies of almost the entirety of Darwin's known surviving correspondence, listed in A Calendar of the Correspondence of Charles Darwin, 1821-1882, Frederick Burkhardt and Sidney Smith, editors, New York: Garland, 1985. Cambridge University Press is now publishing the letters in a multi-volume series. The correspondence most useful for studies in the history of anthropology includes the letters between Darwin and T.H. Huxley, Charles Lyell, George Rolleston, A.R. Wallace, Armand de Quatrefages, John Lubbock, Karl von Baer, E.B. Tylor, Herbert Spencer, H.W. Flower, and Francis Galton. | | | | Source: | Charles Darwin Collection (B D25) | | | | |

| | | Title: | Theodosius Dobzhansky Papers
| | | | Type: | Collection | | | | Format: | Manuscripts | | | | Language: | English | | | | Dates: | Circa 1917-1975 | | | | Extent: | 12.25 linear feet; circa 9,000 items | | | | Abstract: | Correspondence, 1927-1975; 54 notebooks and diaries, circa 1917-1975. Dobzhansky was one of the foremost population geneticists of this century. His studies on genetics and race, on race and behavior, on culture, cultural achievement, and genetics, on nature and nurture in human heredity, and on human evolution are extremely important for social biology and its relation to both cultural and physical anthropology. Particularly interesting are Dobzhansky's writings on the origin and significance of human races, and on anthropology and the natural sciences. The Dobzhansky papers include a manuscript copy of his last book, Human Culture: A Moment in Evolution (published posthumously in 1983); lectures on "Man in the Light of Evolutionary Biology;" correspondence with numerous scientists (Ashley Montagu, L. C. Dunn, Ernst Mayr, E. W. Caspari, Frederick Osborn, and many others) on social biology and race; and papers relating to symposia, books, articles, speeches, and research topics. There is also Dobzhansky correspondence in the M. Demerec, L. C. Dunn, E. W. Caspari, A. F. Blakeslee, Frederick Osborn, F. P. Rous, and related collections. See also the description in the Bentley Glass Guide to Genetics Collections. | | | | Source: | Theodosius Dobzhansky Papers (B D65) | | | | |
