That the Council of the Anthropological Institute hereby express their sympathy with the family of the late Charles Darwin, and Honorary Member of this Institute, as he was of the preceding Ethnological Society and of the Anthropological Society. The Council beg to record their sense of the loss to anthropological science of one who had so greatly contributed to its advancement in this generation, and they feel assured that every member of the scientific world will deplore his death
Notes From Elsewhere
Charles Robert Darwin, FRS (12 February 1809 – 19 April 1882) was an English naturalist and geologist,[1] best known for his contributions to evolutionary theory.[I] He established that all species of life have descended over time from common ancestors,[2] and in a joint publication with Alfred Russel Wallace introduced his scientific theory that this branching pattern of evolution resulted from a process that he called natural selection, in which the struggle for existence has a similar effect to the artificial selection involved in selective breeding.
