Чарлз Дарвин цитаты

Чарлз Ро́берт Да́рвин — английский натуралист и путешественник, одним из первых пришедший к выводу и обосновавший идею о том, что все виды живых организмов эволюционируют со временем и происходят от общих предков. В своей теории, развёрнутое изложение которой было опубликовано в 1859 году в книге «Происхождение видов», основным механизмом эволюции видов Дарвин назвал естественный отбор. Позднее развивал теорию полового отбора. Ему также принадлежит одно из первых обобщающих исследований о происхождении человека.

Дарвин опубликовал одну из первых работ по этологии «Выражение эмоций у человека и животных». Другими направлениями его исследований были создание модели возникновения коралловых рифов и определение законов наследственности. По итогам селекционных экспериментов Дарвин выдвинул гипотезу наследственности , которая так и не получила подтверждения.

Происхождение биологического разнообразия в результате эволюции было признано большинством биологов ещё при жизни Дарвина, в то время как его теория естественного отбора как основного механизма эволюции стала общепризнанной только в 50-х годах XX столетия с появлением синтетической теории эволюции. Идеи и открытия Дарвина в переработанном виде формируют фундамент современной синтетической теории эволюции и составляют основу биологии как обеспечивающие объяснение биоразнообразия. Термин «дарвинизм» используют для обозначения эволюционных моделей, восходящих в основе к идеям Дарвина, а в обыденной речи «дарвинизмом» часто называют эволюционную теорию и современный научный взгляд на эволюцию в целом.

Чарлз Дарвин цитаты

Чарлз Дарвин цитата: „Способность краснеть — самое характерное и самое человеческое качество из всех человеческих свойств.“

„Если два племени первобытных людей, живших на одной и той же земле, вступали между собою в состязание, то (при прочих равных условиях) одолевало и брало верх то племя, в котором было больше мужественных, воодушевлённых любовью к ближним, верных друг другу членов, всегда готовых предупреждать друг друга об опасности, оказывать помощь и защищать друг друга. <…> Себялюбивые и недружелюбные люди не могут сплотиться, а без сплочения мало чего можно достичь. Племя, одарённое указанными выгодными качествами, распространится и одолеет другие племена; но с течением времени, судя по всей истории прошлого, оно будет в свою очередь побеждено каким-либо другим, ещё выше одарённым племенем.“

When two tribes of primeval man, living in the same country, came into competition, if (other circumstances being equal) the one tribe included a great number of courageous, sympathetic and faithful members, who were always ready to warn each other of danger, to aid and defend each other, this tribe would succeed better and conquer the other. <…> Selfish and contentious people will not cohere, and without coherence nothing can be effected. A tribe rich in the above qualities would spread and be victorious over other tribes: but in the course of time it would, judging from all past history, be in its turn overcome by some other tribe still more highly endowed.

Чарлз Дарвин: Цитаты на английском языке

“It is interesting to contemplate an entangled bank, clothed with many plants of many kinds, with birds singing on the bushes, with various insects flitting about, and with worms crawling through the damp earth, and to reflect that these elaborately constructed forms, so different from each other, and dependent on each other in so complex a manner, have all been produced by laws acting around us. These laws, taken in the largest sense, being Growth with Reproduction; Inheritance which is almost implied by reproduction; Variability from the indirect and direct action of the external conditions of life, and from use and disuse; a Ratio of Increase so high as to lead to a Struggle for Life, and as a consequence to Natural Selection, entailing Divergence of Character and the Extinction of less-improved forms. Thus, from the war of nature, from famine and death, the most exalted object which we are capable of conceiving, namely, the production of the higher animals, directly follows. There is grandeur in this view of life, with its several powers, having been originally breathed into a few forms or into one; and that, whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been, and are being, evolved.”

Charles Darwin книга On the Origin of Species (1859)

Last paragraph of the first edition (1859). Only use of the term "evolve" or "evolution" in the first edition.
In the second http://darwin-online.org.uk/content/frameset?pageseq=508&itemID=F376&viewtype=image (1860) through sixth (1872) editions, Darwin added the phrase "by the Creator" to read:
There is grandeur in this view of life, with its several powers, having been originally breathed by the Creator into a few forms or into one; and that, whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been, and are being, evolved.

“There is one living spirit prevalent over this world, (subject to certain contingencies of organic matter & chiefly heat), which assumes a multitude of forms each having acting principle according to subordinate laws.”

There is one thinking sensible principle, intimately allied to one kind of organic matter—have & which thinking principle seems to be given a assumed according to a more extended relations of the individuals, whereby choice with memory or reason? is necessary—which is modified into endless forms bearing a close relation in degree & kind to the endless forms of the living beings.

“As man advances in civilisation, and small tribes are united into larger communities, the simplest reason would tell each individual that he ought to extend his social instincts and sympathies to all the members of the same nation, though personally unknown to him. This point being once reached, there is only an artificial barrier to prevent his sympathies extending to the men of all nations and races. If, indeed, such men are separated from him by great differences in appearance or habits, experience unfortunately shews us how long it is before we look at them as our fellow-creatures. Sympathy beyond the confines of man, that is humanity to the lower animals, seems to be one of the latest moral acquisitions. It is apparently unfelt by savages, except towards their pets. How little the old Romans knew of it is shewn by their abhorrent gladiatorial exhibitions. The very idea of humanity, as far as I could observe, was new to most of the Gauchos of the Pampas. This virtue, one of the noblest with which man is endowed, seems to arise incidentally from our sympathies becoming more tender and more widely diffused, until they are extended to all sentient beings. As soon as this virtue is honoured and practised by some few men, it spreads through instruction and example to the young, and eventually through public opinion.”

Charles Darwin книга The Descent of Man, and Selection in Relation to Sex

volume I, chapter III: "Comparison of the Mental Powers of Man and the Lower Animals — continued", pages 100-101 http://darwin-online.org.uk/content/frameset?pageseq=113&itemID=F937.1&viewtype=image
The Descent of Man (1871)

“To suppose that the eye with all its inimitable contrivances for adjusting the focus to different distances, for admitting different amounts of light, and for the correction of spherical and chromatic aberration, could have been formed by natural selection, seems, I freely confess, absurd in the highest degree. When it was first said that the sun stood still and the world turned round, the common sense of mankind declared the doctrine false; but the old saying of Vox populi, vox Dei, as every philosopher knows, cannot be trusted in science. Reason tells me, that if numerous gradations from a simple and imperfect eye to one complex and perfect can be shown to exist, each grade being useful to its possessor, as is certainly the case; if further, the eye ever varies and the variations be inherited, as is likewise certainly the case; and if such variations should be useful to any animal under changing conditions of life, then the difficulty of believing that a perfect and complex eye could be formed by natural selection, though insuperable by our imagination, should not be considered as subversive of the theory. How a nerve comes to be sensitive to light, hardly concerns us more than how life itself originated; but I may remark that, as some of the lowest organisms, in which nerves cannot be detected, are capable of perceiving light, it does not seem impossible that certain sensitive elements in their sarcode should become aggregated and developed into nerves, endowed with this special sensibilites.”

“And thus, the forms of life throughout the universe become divided into groups subordinate to groups.”

Charles Darwin книга On the Origin of Species (1859)

Источник: On the Origin of Species (1859), chapter II: "Variation Under Nature", page 59

“As many more individuals of each species are born than can possibly survive; and as, consequently, there is a frequently recurring struggle for existence, it follows that any being, if it vary however slightly in any manner profitable to itself, under the complex and sometimes varying conditions of life, will have a better chance of surviving, and thus be naturally selected.”

Charles Darwin книга On the Origin of Species (1859)

From the strong principle of inheritance, any selected variety will tend to propagate its new and modified form.
