"Darwin, and After Darwin, Volumes 1 and 3" by George John Romanes is a scientific exposition written in the late 19th century. The work focuses on the Darwinian theory of evolution and explores the developments of biological science following Darwin's contributions, particularly addressing questions that arose post-Darwin. Romanes endeavors to make complex scientific ideas accessible to general readers and biological students, aiming to elucidate the foundational principles of organic evolution. The opening of the book sets the stage for an exploration of the significant shifts in biological methodology that arose as a result of Darwin's theories. Romanes discusses how Darwin's work catalyzed a new understanding of scientific inquiry, moving away from purely empirical observations to a more holistic approach involving hypothesis and speculation. He emphasizes the profound impact of Darwin's "Origin of Species," noting that previous notions of classification and the relationship between facts and theories in natural history were fundamentally altered. This introduction hints at a comprehensive examination of the evidence supporting evolution, the historical context of Darwinian thought, and the ongoing debates within the scientific community regarding natural selection and the mechanisms of evolution.
