pageseq=1&itemID=CUL-DAR226.1.145&viewtype=text>. This review from the
Saturday Review was an explanation of a reader's interpretation of Darwin's Writing The
Origin of Species. It gave much insight of the public's (or someone from the general
public's) view on all of the breakthrough or controversial theories that Darwin
introduced. This writing helps one formulate an idea about people's
initial interpretation of Natural selection and/or Evolution.
- - -. A Venerable Orang-outang. 22 Feb. 1871. Illustration. The Hornet Magazine. This picture
from the Hornet Magazine depicted Darwin as an ape, due to his own idea of humans
evolving from them. This helped me as it provided and open-minded interpretation that I
could formulate on my own. It also helped as it showed how people thought of Darwin
and his ideas.

figure overlooking something. It is used as the background image for the Leadership and

This Primary Source, a writing of Darwin's theory Natural Selection, proposed the most
common biological theory to have ever been considered. This work gave a sense of the
original interpretation of the idea, more concise than that of those who restated it. It was

very helpful as it included sections that assist in the understanding of the process Darwin
took to prove his ideas.
Darwin, Charles. "Difficulties on Theory." On the Origin of Species. London, 1859. 139-65.
Print. This chapter from one of Darwin's own writings proved to be an excellent source in
which the struggles of trying to have a theory be accepted. He gave counter argument to
those who denied him. This source helped me greatly in the sense that it gave
explanations that provided insight as to how he struggled to get to the places he did and
to prove a point he dedicated himself so greatly to.
- - -. "Recapitulation and Coclusion." On the Origin of Species. London, 1859. 354-76. Print.
This final chapter in Darwin's persuasive writing, concluded and restated much of what
we already knew. In addition to this however he added details on how his theory had been
denied and gave reasons why he believed he was right. He did not give up. This allowed
me to formulate the idea of his hardworking ethic, something that is important in a leader.

The final Chapter in this book by Charles

Darwin reflected on his science career and accomplishments. In doing this, Darwin
provided information about the information and ideas he left. In addition, he ponders
upon what his discoveries meant to others. This Primary Source was helpful as it is a
writing from Darwin himself.
- - -. The Life Letters of Charles Darwin. Ed. Francis Darwin. N.p.: n.p., n.d. Darwin Online.
Web. 18 Oct. 2014. This source was long and very interesting. Only a small section of
this work however was important. In an autobiographical chapter, Darwin reflected on his
accomplishments. He commented on his beliefs on what his ideas mean to science and

others who read them. This was important as it helps one determine the view of Darwin
himself.
- - -. "Will and Testament." N.d. MS. This document that is Charles Darwin's final Will and
testament served as a resource and explained all of how Darwin wished to end his life
and do with his life work. It showed to whom he wished to entrust with all of
his possessions. His final wishes could lead one to many conclusions about Darwin as a
man and what he really wanted.

1907. World Book Advanced. Web. 14 Jan. 2015 This work re-stated and gave opinions
on Darwin's theory of evolution. It was helpful to my work as it provided a different point
of view. There were some very relevant quotes in which I used in my final project.
A Man is But a Worm. 1882. Photograph. Punch Almanac. This picture , title, A Man is But a
Worm showed and evolutionary cycle starting from a worm all the way to a man, and
then Darwin at the very center. This source was extremely helpful as it assisted me in
making a connection between Darwin and those he led. The author of the illustration
portrayed Darwin at the top of the cycle, as if he was a greater life form.

This article on Darwin's theory of evolution reports knowledge on the process in which
evolution occurs. The section on Darwin was most helpful, as it explains the relation
between him and evolution. It provides thorough details of how the theory came to be
and what influences Darwin had. It is very important to this research topic as it will help
give an understanding as to what spurred Darwin's discovery.

Interviews
Browne, Janet. Personal interview. 15 Jan. 2015. This interview provided deep thought on
detailed topics regarding Darwin and his theories. It was most helpful as I gained a
perspective on an experts view on evolution. Some of the questions considered were that
of those about Darwin himself, others about the theories her proposed, and finally about
the people affected by it and how it affected them. The answers to these covered all
aspects of point I planned to put across.
Herron, Jon C. Personal interview. 13 Jan. 2015. This interview gave insight on the point of view
of someone in the biology industry. He gave information on the impact of evolution in
the world today. Vivid local examples were provided, stating how they were affected by
the evolution theory. This was very useful to my work on the legacy of evolution.
