Darwin on sexual selection in birds, 1871
Darwin on sexual selection in birds, 19th-century illustration. Here, Darwin is discussing differences in the plumage and tails of a female (left) and male (right) hummingbird. Sexual selection is a form of evolutionary and reproductive selection based on differences between the sexes. This is page 77 on 'Decoration' from chapter 13 (one of several chapters on secondary sexual characteristics of birds) from volume two of 'The Descent of Man and Selection in Relation to Sex' (1871) by British naturalist Charles Darwin (1809-1882). In volume two of this work ('Sexual Selection'), Darwin wrote on aspects of his evolutionary theory, including sexual selection and natural selection. Darwin's most famous work, 'On the Origin of Species', had been published in 1859 and had caused a storm of controversy with Christian orthodoxy. By the time of this later work, Darwin's theories were more widely accepted.
