darwin. be grateful
In 1859, Charles Darwin published what was to become one of the most controversial abstracts of the century. The abstract was mainly about his theories of natural selection. In his text, Darwin states that if two different members of the same species were spread across two different cultures, namely the civilized and savage cultures, the species in one culture would evolve to a more notable degree than the other. From this, two new sub-species would be created. The one distinct difference between the two sub-species, Darwin states, would be that the sub-species that evolved in the savage world would externally resemble the original species more than the one bred in the civilized world. This is true because, according to Darwin’s theories, the productivity of human selection by virtue of favoring and breeding a species is directly proportional to the degree of civilization that surrounds the species in question.The degree of evolution of a domesticated species varies according to the breeder’s tastes. One can onl
An uncivilized man cannot influence the evolution of his domesticated breeds to the extent that the civilized man can, and therefore the civilized man’s domesticated breeds will vary more from the original species than the savage man’s breeds would. This is shown when Darwin says that domesticated animals kept by uncivilized man “…almost always have to struggle for their own food…” Savage man, according to Darwin, chose not to or cannot afford to (most likely the latter) properly feed any of his domesticated species. Without caring enough to even properly feed his domesticated animals, it is hard to see how savage man could breed (and therefore evolve) the species to fit his tastes. Due to the lack of human intervention, the domesticated species of the savage man will still have to face many of the same struggles that the original wild species faces. Darwin supports this idea when he says that domesticated breeds kept by savages would, like their wild ancestors, have to struggle for their food. As a result
