Abstract

We tried to show in the book that Charles Darwin’s geophysical observations continue to arouse great interest up to this moment.

… A few naturalists, endowed with much flexibility of mind, …may be influenced by this volume; but I look with confidence to the future, to young and rising naturalists… ( Charles Darwin. On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, London, John Murray, 1859, p. 311.)
