him into his theme in The Descent of man and at the same time gave his views on evolution in relation to sex. Finally in 1872, in The expression of the emotions in man and animals, he opposed the view that the expressions and associated muscle structures of man were peculiar to him and a God-given gift, attempting to show that their origins could be traced through the races of men and through other mammals. His next five books were devoted to plant functions and were largely dependent on the

'anticyclone' is his. At the same time, he began his studies on inheritance in man and the collection of data on human attributes, the tabulation of which had previously been deficient. He had accepted his cousin Charles' ideas on evolution immediately on the publication of The origin of species in 1859. One human character which he had studied was fingerprints and, although this was only a minor part of his work, he is remembered as one of the founders of their use in criminal and documentary matters

Figure 23 Darwin's changing view of the world. A. 1832 AND BEFORE. The Creator (C) made an organic world (O) and a physical world (P). O is perfectly adapted to P B. 1832-1834 (DURING GEOLOGICAL EXPLORATIONS IN S. AMERICA). The physical world undergoes continuous change governed by natural laws summarised in Lyell's Principles of Geology C. 1835 (THE PACIFIC). The activities of living organisms contribute to the evolution of the physical world, as exemplified by the action of coral organisms

Book are of great interest and must be viewed within the timespan of the development of the theory of evolution. Darwin visited Western Australia thirty-five years after the French naturalist Francois Peron, whose accounts contain much which senses the transmutability of species. The Red Book predates Alfred Russel Wallace's first publication which states 'Every species has come into existence coincident both in space and time with pre-existing closely allied species' by some eighteen years

the period 1832 to 1837 Darwin's view of the world had changed from the stable model given in Figure 23A (p. 50), to the more dynamic view of Figure 23D. The adoption of this posture, was gradual, and may only have been completed after Charles' return to England, but his studies of the dynamic nature of coal coastlines may have accelerated the change: any such evolution of his outlook would have received a good deal of reinforcement from Volume II of Lyell's Principles. It is tempting to surmise
