Concept information
Preferred term
darwinism and geography
Definition
- Although Charles Darwin was actively engaged in geographical exploration and his work would have been hardly possible if not for geographical differences in the distributions of species and characteristics, Darwin has received little direct attention in geography. Despite Darwin's lack of recognition as an influential figure for geography, much geographical research since the publication in 1859 of On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life has been either explicitly or implicitly inspired by Darwin.
