Darwin and the Evolution of a TheoryAn exhibition of rare books, manuscripts, images and scientific specmensdrawn from the collections of UC Berkeley’s libraries and museumsCreditsThe curators gratefully acknowledge the followingindividuals whose assistance made the exhibitionpossible.The Bancroft Library GalleryAugust 13–December 23, 2009Charles Faulhaber, Liz Gardner,Diana Vergil, Alison WannamakerBancroft AdministrationUC Berkeley has one of the most magnificent library collections, and the greatest natural history museums, of any university in the world. So it seemed only fitting to honor thegreatest biologist of all time, Charles Darwin, with an exhibition of rare books andimages from Bancroft and other UC libraries. These are complemented by a selection ofartifacts and natural history specimens from the Museum of Paleontology, the Museumof Vertebrate Zoology, the University and Jepson Herbaria, the Essig Museum of Ento mology, and the Hearst Museum of Anthropology.Lorna KirwanBancroft Public ServicesFrancis A. KeithBaylor UniversityBeth Weil and Randy WilsonBioscience and Natural Resources LibraryTim Herrlinger, Liza Ray, Tim WhiteDepartment of Integrative BiologyLin Salamo, Neda SalemMark Twain PapersThe occasion for honoring Darwin, of course, is the 200th anniversary of his birth onFebruary 12, 1809, and the 150th anniversary of his great work, On the Origin of Species byMeans of Natural Selection, published on November 24, 1859, in London by John Murray. Butthis exhibition is not just about the Origin. It also encompasses the books that influencedDarwin in developing his great ideas, including the narratives of great explorers, thenatural histories of Britain and elsewhere, and the treatises on geology and classifica tion. It also celebrates the voyage of H.M.S. Beagle not only with published accounts fromthe voyage, but with specimens of plants, animals, and fossils just like those that Darwincollected—topped off with a scale-model of the vessel herself.Rauri Bowie, Carla Cicero, Jim McGuire,Carol Spencer, Beth WommackMuseum of Vertebrate ZoologyThe following checklist includes the books, images, specimens and artifacts, and selectedexcerpts of the text that comprise the exhibition.Brian QuigleyEarth Sciences and Map LibraryCheryl Barr, Deanna Jackson, Vincent Resh, Kip WillEssig Museum of EntomologySusan FranciscoLibrary Facilities OfficePatricia Holroyd, David K.

Darwinarrived aboard the Beagle September 15,1835, and visited Chatham, Charles,Albemarle, and James islands beforedeparting a little more than a month lateron October 20. Later, Darwin realizedthat the discovery of the distribution ofbirds and tortoises on the islands would“undermine the stability of Species.”Huxley (1825–1895) was a pre-eminent Victor ian anatomist, biologist, and paleon tologistand such a strong supporter of Darwin thathe gained the title of “Darwin’s bulldog.”Papilionidae, swallowtail butterflies, AsiaColias Eurydice (Pieridae), dogface butterfly,California state insectCharles Darwin, 1809–1882Journal of researches into the geology and naturalhistory of the various countries visited by H.M.
