Soft cover. Condition: Fine. Jean-Baptiste Lamarck (1744-1829) was a French naturalist whose work laid some of the earliest foundations for evolutionary thought. Long before Darwin, Lamarck attempted to describe the development of life as a continuous, law-governed process. His proposal that organisms adapt to their environment and may pass acquired characteristics to their descendants was later contested, yet his broader vision that species change over time in response to natural forces helped shape the emerging discipline of evolutionary biology. Even where his specific mechanisms have been superseded, Lamarck remains an influential figure in the history of science. The present volume offers a Russian rendering of Lamarck s ideas, introducing readers to the principal themes of his evolutionary theory: the origins and transformation of species, the influence of environmental conditions, and the dynamic interplay between adaptation and variability. It stands as a revealing document of early evolutionary speculation, capturing attempts to build a coherent picture of life s development before the advent of Darwin s theory of natural selection. The translator and populariser, Aleksandr Kots (1880-1964), was a Russian zoologist, educator and the founder of Moscow s Darwin Museum. He played a vital role in presenting evolutionary science to a broad public, combining scholarly precision with a gift for clear, accessible exposition. His translations often served as an important conduit through which contemporary Western scientific thought reached Russian readers. Beyond its intellectual significance, the book holds considerable bibliographical appeal. It reflects the tone and ambitions of early twentieth-century popular science publishing in Russia, and illustrates Kots s contribution to the dissemination of evolutionary ideas. Minor tears at the spine have been neatly reinforced. On the back cover there is a bookseller s stamp marked 25 kopeks , indicating that the price of the book was indexed at some point.…
