Experimental Evolution: Lectures Delivered in the Summer School of Art and Science, University Hall, Edinburgh (August, 1891) (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
The book gathers Henry de Varigny’s 1891 lectures on Experimental Evolution, arguing that proof of evolution requires direct, observable experiments.
It blends scientific history with practical methods to test how living things change under real-world conditions.
Readers will see how environment, domestication, plant and animal cultivation, and physiological differences reveal the malleability of life. The text emphasizes a shift toward experimental verification as a path to advance the theory of evolution.
- How variation arises and expresses itself across species, ages, and environments
- Methods for long-term experiments that test change in plants and animals
- Connections between historical French and broader scientific views on evolution
- Practical considerations for running farm and laboratory experiments that last decades
Ideal for readers curious about the history and practical testing of evolutionary ideas.

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the development of the Evolutionary Theory from its speculative inception to its modern, scientific form. The author traces the gradual acceptance of evolution as the explanation for the diversity of life on Earth, largely crediting Darwin's On the Origin of Species with popularizing the concept. The author continues with a survey of the evidence for evolution from a variety of scientific disciplines, including anatomy, embryology, and paleontology, demonstrating the overwhelming scientific consensus that species change over time. The book concludes with a discussion of what caused this change over time, and provides an overview of some of the major evolutionary theories that have been proposed. The book provides a comprehensive history of evolutionary thought, from the earliest speculations through Darwin and into the 21st century. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
