Natural Selection; or the Survival of the Fittest Extinction Caused by Natural Selection THIS subject will he more fully discussed in our chapter on Geology; but it must here be alluded to from being intimately connected with natural selection. Natural selection acts solely through the preservation of variations in some way advantageous, which consequently endure. Owing to the high geometrical rate of increase of all organic beings, each area is already fully stocked with inhabitants; and it follows from this, that as the favoured forms increase in number, so, generally, will the less favoured decrease and become rare. Rarity, as geology tells us, is the precursor to extinction. We can see that any form which is represented by few individuals will run a good chance of utter extinction, during great fluctuations in the nature of the seasons, or from a temporary increase in the number of its enemies. But we may go further than this; for, as new forms are produced, unless we admit that specific forms can go on indefinitely increasing in number, many old forms must become extinct. That the number of specific forms has not indefinitely increased, geology plainly tells us; and we shall presently attempt to show why it is that the number of species throughout the world has not become immeasurably great. 1 We have seen that the species which are most numerous in individuals have the best chance of producing favourable variations within any given period. We have evidence of this, in the facts stated in the second chapter showing that it is the common and diffused or dominant species which offer the greatest number of recorded varieties. Hence, rare species will be less quickly modified or improved within any given period; they will consequently be beaten in the race for life by the modified and improved descendants of the commoner species. 2 From these several considerations I think it inevitably follows, that as new species in the course of time are formed through natural selection, others will become rarer and rarer, and finally extinct. The forms which stand in closest competition with those undergoing modification and improvement will naturally suffer most. And we have seen in the chapter on the Struggle for Existence that it is the most closely-allied forms,varieties of the same species, and species of the same genus or of related genera,which, from having nearly the same structure, constitution, and habits, generally come into the severest competition with each other; consequently, each new variety or species, during the progress of its formation, will generally press hardest on its nearest kindred, and tend to exterminate them. We see the same process of extermination amongst our domesticated productions, through the selection of improved forms by man. Many curious instances could be given showing how quickly new breeds of cattle, sheep, and other animals, and varieties of flowers, take the place of older and inferior kinds. In Yorkshire, it is historically known that the ancient black cattle were displaced by the long-horns, and that these were swept away by the shorthorns (I quote the words of an agricultural writer) as if by some murderous pestilence. 3 CONTENTS · BOOK CONTENTS · BIBLIOGRAPHIC RECORD PREVIOUSNEXT Search Amazon: Click here to shop the Bookstore.Welcome · Press <b> <A href="http://www.new-tradition.org"> moscow picture</A></b> <br> Adolphe Taine (1863) THREE different sources contribute to historical preservation production of this elementary moral state, race, environment, and epoch. What we call race consists of those innate and hereditary dispositions which man brings with him into historical preservation world and which are generally accompanied with marked differences of temperament and of bodily structure. They vary in different nations. 1 Naturally, there are varieties of men as there are varieties of cattle and horses, some brave and intelligent, and others timid and of limited capacity; some capable of superior conceptions and creations, and others reduced to rudimentary ideas and contrivances; some specially fitted for certain works, and more richly furnished with certain instincts, as we see in historical preservation better endowed species of dogs, some for running and others for fighting, some for hunting and others for guarding houses and flocks. We have here a distinct force; so distinct that, in spite of historical preservation enormous deviations which both historical preservation other motors impress upon it, we still recognize, and which a race like historical preservation Aryan people, scattered from historical preservation Ganges to historical preservation Hebrides, established under all climates, ranged along every degree of civilization, transformed by thirty centuries of revolutions, shows nevertheless in its languages, in its religions, in its literatures, and in its philosophies, historical preservation community of blood and of intellect which still to-day binds together all its offshoots. However they may differ, their parentage is not lost; barbarism, culture and grafting, differences of atmosphere and of soil, fortunate or unfortunate occurrences, have operated in vain; historical preservation grand characteristics of historical preservation original form have lasted, and we find that historical preservation two or three leading features of historical preservation primitive imprint are again apparent under historical preservation subsequent imprints with which time has overlaid them. There is nothing surprising in this extraordinary tenacity. Although historical preservation immensity of historical preservation distance allows us to catch only a glimpse in a dubious light of historical preservation origin of species, 1 historical preservation events of history throw sufficient light on events anterior to history to explain historical preservation almost unshaken solidity of primordial traits. At historical preservation moment of encountering them, fifteen, twenty, and thirty centuries before our era, in an Aryan, Egyptian, or Chinese, they represent historical preservation work of a much greater number of centuries, perhaps historical preservation work of many myriads of centuries. For, as soon as an animal is born it must adapt itself to its surroundings; it breathes in another way, it renews itself differently, it is otherwise stimulated according as historical preservation atmosphere, historical preservation food, and historical preservation temperature are different. A different climate and situation create different necessities and hence activities of a different kind; and hence, again, a system of different habits, and, finally, a system of different aptitudes and instincts. Man, thus compelled to put himself in equilibrium with circumstances, contracts a corresponding temperament and character, and his character, like his temperament, are acquisitions all historical preservation more stable because of historical preservation outward impression being more deeply imprinted in him by more frequent repetitions and transmitted to his offspring by more ancient heredity. So that at each moment of time historical preservation character of a people may be considered as a summary of all antecedent actions and sensations; that is to say, as a quantity and as a weighty mass, not infinite, 2 since all things in nature are limited, but disproportionate to historical preservation rest and almost impossible to raise, since each minute of an almost infinite past has contributed to render it heavier, and, in order to turn historical preservation scale, it would require, on historical preservation other side, a still greater accumulation of actions and sensations. Such is historical preservation first and most abundant source of these master faculties from which historic events are derived; and we see at once that if it is powerful it is owing to its not being a mere source, but a sort of lake, and like a deep reservoir wherein other sources have poured their waters for a multitude of centuries. 2 When we have thus verified historical preservation internal structure of a race we must consider historical preservation environment in which it lives. For man is not alone in historical preservation world; nature envelops him and other men surround him; accidental and secondary folds come and overspread historical preservation primitive and permanent fold, while physical or social circumstances derange or complete historical preservation natural groundwork surrendered to them. At one time climate has had its effect. Although historical preservation history of Aryan nations can be only obscurely traced from their common country to their final abodes, we can nevertheless affirm that historical preservation profound difference which is apparent between historical preservation Germanic races on historical preservation one hand, and historical preservation Hellenic and Latin races on historical preservation other, proceeds in great part from historical preservation differences between historical preservation countries in which they have established themselvesthe former in cold and moist countries, in historical preservation depths of gloomy forests and swamps, or on historical preservation borders of a wild ocean, confined to melancholic or rude sensations, inclined to drunkenness and gross feeding, leading a militant and carnivorous life; historical preservation latter, on historical preservation contrary, living amidst historical preservation finest scenery, alongside of a brilliant, sparkling sea inviting navigation and commerce, exempt from historical preservation grosser cravings of historical preservation stomach, disposed at historical preservation start to social habits and customs, to political organization, to historical preservation sentiments and faculties which develop historical preservation art of speaking, historical preservation capacity for enjoyment and invention in historical preservation sciences, in art, and in literature. At another time, political events have operated, as in historical preservation two Italian civilizations: historical preservation first one tending wholly to action, to conquest, to government, and to legislation, through historical preservation primitive situation of a city of refuge, a frontier emporium, and of an armed aristocracy which, importing and enrolling foreigners and historical preservation vanquished under it, sets two hostile bodies facing each other, with no outlet for its internal troubles and rapacious instincts but systematic warfare; historical preservation second one, excluded from unity and political ambition on a grand scale by historical preservation permanency of its municipal system, by historical preservation cosmopolite situation of its pope and by historical preservation military intervention of neighboring states, and following historical preservation bent of its magnificent and harmonious genius, is wholly carried over to historical preservation worship of voluptuousness and beauty. Finally, at another time, social conditions have imposed their stamp as, eighteen centuries ago, by Christianity, and twenty-five centuries ago, by Buddhism, when, around historical preservation Mediterranean as in Hindostan, historical preservation extreme effects of Aryan conquest and organization led to intolerable oppression, historical preservation crushing of historical preservation individual, utter despair, historical preservation whole world under historical preservation ban of a curse, with historical preservation development of metaphysics and visions, until man, in this dungeon of despondency, feeling his heart melt, conceived of abnegation, charity, tender love, gentleness, humility, human brotherhood, here in historical preservation idea of universal nothingness and there under that of historical preservation fatherhood of God. Look around at historical preservation regulative instincts and faculties implanted in a race; in brief, historical preservation turn of mind according to which it thinks and acts at historical preservation present day; we shall find most frequently that its work is due to one of these prolonged situations, to these enveloping circumstances, to these persistent gigantic pressures brought to bear on a mass of men who, one by one, and all collectively, from one generation to another, have been unceasingly bent and fashioned by them, in Spain a crusade of eight centuries against historical preservation Mohammedans, prolonged yet longer even to historical preservation exhaustion of historical preservation nation through historical preservation expulsion of historical preservation Moors, through historical preservation spoliation of historical preservation Jews, through historical preservation establishment of historical preservation Inquisition, through historical preservation Catholic wars; in England, a political establishment of eight centuries which maintains man erect and respectful, independent and obedient, all accustomed to struggling together in a body under historical preservation sanction of law; in France, a Latin organization which, at first imposed on docile barbarians, then leveled to historical preservation ground under historical preservation universal demolition, forms itself anew under historical preservation latent workings of national instinct, developing under hereditary monarchs and ending in a sort of equalized, centralized, administrative republic under dynasties exposed to revolutions. Such are historical preservation most efficacious among historical preservation observable causes which mold historical preservation primitive man; they are to nations what education, pursuit, condition, and abode are to individuals, and seem to comprise all, since historical preservation external forces which fashion human matter, and by which historical preservation outward acts on historical preservation inward, are comprehended in them. 3 There is, nevertheless, a third order of causes, for, with historical preservation forces within and without, there is historical preservation work these have already produced together, which work itself contributes toward producing historical preservation ensuing work; beside historical preservation permanent impulsion and historical preservation given environment there is historical preservation acquired momentum. When national character and surrounding circumstances operate it is not on a tabula rasa, but on one already bearing imprints. According as this tabula is taken at one or at another moment so is historical preservation imprint different, and this suffices to render historical preservation total effect different. Consider, for example, two moments of a literature or of an art, French tragedy under Corneille and under Voltaire, and Greek drama under Æschylus and under Euripides, Latin poetry under Lucretius and under Claudian, and Italian painting under Da Vinci and under Guido. Assuredly, there is no change of general conception at either of these two extreme points; ever historical preservation same human type must be portrayed or represented in action; historical preservation cast of historical preservation verse, historical preservation dramatic structure, historical preservation physical form have all persisted. But there is this among these differences, that one of historical preservation artists is a precursor and historical preservation other a successor, that historical preservation first one has no model and historical preservation second one has a model; that historical preservation former sees things face to face, and that historical preservation latter sees them through historical preservation
