In the first place, I have collected so large a body of facts, showing, in accordance with the almost universal belief of breeders, that with animals and plants a cross between different varieties, or between individuals of the same variety but of another strain, gives vigour and fertility to the offspring; and on the other hand, that close interbreeding diminishes vigour and fertility; that these facts alone incline me to believe that it is a general law of nature (utterly ignorant though we be of the meaning of the law) that no organic being self-fertilises itself for an eternity of generations; but that a cross with another individual is occasionally perhaps at very long intervals -- indispensable.

Extinction This subject will be more fully discussed in our chapter on Geology; but it must be here alluded to from being intimately connected with natural selection. Natural selection acts solely through the preservation of variations in some way advantageous, which consequently endure. But as from the high geometrical powers of increase of all organic beings, each area is already fully stocked with inhabitants, it follows that as each selected and favoured form increases in number, so will the less favoured forms decrease and become rare.

27

Divergence of Character

The principle, which I have designated by this term, is of high importance on my theory, and explains, as I believe, several important facts. In the first place, varieties, even strongly-marked ones, though having somewhat of the character of species as is shown by the hopeless doubts in many cases how to rank them yet certainly differ from each other far less than do good and distinct species. Nevertheless, according to my view, varieties are species in the process of formation, or are, as I have called them, incipient species. How, then, does the lesser difference between varieties become augmented into the greater difference between species?

20 And God said, “Let the water teem with living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth across the vault of the sky.” 21 So God created the great creatures of the sea and every living thing with which the water teems and that moves about in it, according to their kinds, and every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. 22 God blessed them and said, “Be fruitful and increase in number and fill the water in the seas, and let the birds increase on the earth.” 23 And there was evening, and there was morning—the fifth day.

HELMUT NEWTON @ Grand Palais The renowned Grand Palaiswill host from March 24 to June 17 the exhibit Helmut Newton. The Austrian photographer lived in Paris for 14 years of his life, era of his famous collaborations with Vogue, and this will be the first retrospective of his work in France after his death. Featuring more than two hundred pieces – including huge enlargements of original works, polaroids and impressions supervised by the artist himself – the display will bring among its characters some of the most iconic women of our time, such as Catherine Deneuve, Liz Taylor and Kate Moss.

The whole thing was conceived and curated by his partner, June Newton, who also directed the documentary movie Helmut by June, to be projected during the expo. Among eroticism, sophistication and glamour, this is a precious insight into the universe and career of probably the most influential fashion photographer of 20th century.
