The Variation of Animals and Plants under Domestication V2 is a book written by Charles Darwin, the renowned naturalist and scientist. In this work, Darwin examines the process of domestication and how it has affected the variation of animals and plants. He provides detailed observations and experiments on various species, including pigeons, cattle, and dogs, to demonstrate how selective breeding has led to changes in their physical and behavioral characteristics. Darwin also explores the role of natural selection in domesticated species and how it has influenced their evolution. The book is divided into two volumes, with the second volume focusing on plants and their domestication. The Variation of Animals and Plants under Domestication V2 is a seminal work in the field of evolutionary biology and continues to be studied and referenced by scientists today.With animals, the jackal is prepotent over the dog, as is stated by Flourens, who made many crosses between these animals; and this was likewise the case with a hybrid which I once saw between a jackal and a terrier. I cannot doubt, from the observations of Colin and others, that the ass is prepotent over the horse; the prepotency in this instance running more strongly through the male than through the female ass.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
