‎---- PREMIERE EDITOIN FRANCAISE ET PREMIERE TRADUCTION EN LANGUE VULGAIRE ---- Ce texte parut pour la première fois en latin dans les Elementa physiologia - 1757/1766 ---- "Haller applied his experimental methods to his studies of embryological development. He came to this studies through his investigations of the human gonads (he gave the first correct description of the rete testis, to which the designation Halleri is added in his honor). He then took up the chief generative problem of his time : the origin of the new individual... Haller began systematic investigations on hatching chicken eggs and, following the example of Harvey, on mammals. He made important specific discoveries in embryology. He was able to correct an error of Malpighi, who thought that he had observed a passageway connecting the right and left ventricles in the embryonic chickheart. He was further able to refute Jean Mery by showing that the blood flows from right to left through the foramen ovale in the interatrial septum and he perceived correctly that the branches of the unbilical vein leading into the fetal liver correspond to the branches of the portal vein in later development... He described with great accuracy the vascular system that supplies the bones... Haller's most important finding in embryology again shows his statistical bias ; he was able to devise a numerical method to demonstrate the rate of growth of the fetal body and its parts. By this quantitative determination he showed that fetal growth is relatively rapid in its earlier stages but that the tempo gradually decreases. These observations were entirely new and remain fundamentally correct...". (DSB VI p.65)**2559/D4‎

‎The Genetical Evolution of Social Behaviour, I (+) The Genetical Evolution of Social Behaviour, II. - [HAMILTON'S RULE]‎

‎London, Academic Press, 1964. 8vo. In the original grey printed wrappers. In ""Journal of Theoretical Biology"", Volume 7, Number 1, July 1964. Entire issue offered. A very fine and clean copy. Pp. 1-16"" Pp. 17-52. [Entire volume: 170, (2) pp.].‎

‎First printing of Hamilton's two seminal publications, perhaps the most important in evolutionary biology in the 20th century, on altruism in relation to kin selection. Hamilton is, primarily because of the present publication, widely regarded as being one of the most influential theoretical biologists of the twentieth century. ""Hamilton's principal achievement was so thoroughly to revise the language of evolutionary biology that it has become nearly impossible to speak in evolutionary explanations except in terms of the self-interest of the organism or gene."" (DSB)Hamilton's rule: k> 1/r, a gene causing an organism to benefit relatives at the expense of its own reproduction will be selected and increase in a population if the benefit to the ""altruist"" outweighs the discounted relationship, or as Hamilton himself described it: ""a gene causing altruistic behavior towards brothers and sisters will be selected only if the behavior and the circumstances are generally such that the gain is more than twice the loss" for half-brothers it must be more than four times the loss" and so on. To put the matter more vividly, an animal acting on this principle would sacrifice its life if it could thereby save more than two brothers, but not for less."" (DSB). Due to the complexity and advanced mathematics the paper was rejected twice until it was accepted by the reviewer's an it was not until the mid 1970ies that his theory became widely know and cited: ""Hamilton wrote up the theory of inclusive fitness in two versions. One was a lengthy, fully mathematical treatment that unified understanding of a considerable body of case studies of altruistic behaviors that Hamilton drew from the scientific literature, the fruit of his graduate research. The second was a short, mostly verbal abstract of the whole, containing only the mathematical relation of Hamilton's rule and some general, theoretical remarks on its applicability. He met difficulty in publishing both. The first he submitted to the Journal of Theoretical Biology, where it spent considerable time in the reviewing process"" ultimately the referee (John Maynard Smith, a mathematical biologist of similar interests) asked that it be split into two parts. After the revisions and splitting called for by the referee for the Journal of Theoretical Biology, that journal published ""The Genetical Evolution of Social Behaviour,"" parts 1 and 2, in 1964. The first part of the paper contained the mathematical arguments culminating in the derivation of Hamilton's rule"" its arguments were almost exclusively cast in the language and methodology of modern population genetics. The second part hearkened back in its methodology to Darwin's, as Hamilton used the theory of inclusive fitness to explain a diverse array of social traits recorded in the biological literature, including alarm calling, mutual grooming, the fusion of colony organisms, and postreproductive behavior in cryptic (camouflaged) moth species compared with that of aposematic species (bad-tasting with vivid warning colors). In each case, Hamilton argued that his theory of inclusive fitness could coherently explain the evolution of phenomena that had been disparate in the literature as aspects of a single principle at work, Fisher's fundamental theorem of natural selection, mandating the maximization of favorable genes under selection.Hamilton's influence began to grow among evolutionary biologists as the few who had read and understood the import of his papers worked to bring him from his initial scientific and social isolation into the networks of scientists interested in evolution and behavior. Wilson, for example, invited Hamilton to lecture at Harvard University in 1969, en route to a Smithsonian Institution conference on ""Man and Beast"" that brought together specialists from various fields to discuss the impact of recent biological work on understandings of human nature""From about 1974, citations of Hamilton's 1964 papers in the scientific literature began an exponential rise, reaching some four thousand total in the Institute for Scientific Information (ISI) Web of Science database by 2007, making ""The Genetical Evolution of Social Behaviour"" the most-cited paper ever published in the Journal of Theoretical Biology. Hamilton's principal achievement was so thoroughly to revise the language of evolutionary biology that it has become nearly impossible to speak in evolutionary explanations except in terms of the self-interest of the organism or gene.""

‎Rare first edition of the first book on Darwinism, printed in Istanbul. The work in Ottoman language is a translation of ""Wahrheit und Irrthum im Darwinismus"" (The Truths and Mistakes of Darwinism) by Eduard von Hartmann (1842 - 1906), first published in 1875. The translator Memduh Süleyman, who also commented the book, considered the natural evolution the biggest mistake of the Darwinism. Memduh Süleyman (1889?-1920) was an important author and translator of the last years of the Ottoman Empire. His most famous work is a book on Nietzsche, ""Nietzsche Hayat? ve Felsefesi"", from 1912, which he co-wrote in together with Ahmet Nebil-Baha Tevfik-Memduh.The book was published amidst the Ottoman debate on the Darwinism. The first mentioning of the term was made in 1863 in a magazine Mecmua-i Fünun by Münif Pasha, who was at the time serving as a minister of education and did not believe, that the development of science would or should affect the religion. In the time of the publication of the present work, Darwin's works were not yet translated into Ottoman. The first translation of On the Origin of Species in the Muslim world, was only issued in Arabic in 1918 in Cairo. Translated were only the first six chapters. For more chapters were subsequently added in 1928.OCLC list three institutional examples (Leiden University Library, Library of Congress, Huntington Library, Art Museum, & Botanical Gardens).‎

‎First edition of Hasselquist’s account of his travels in Palestine and the eastern part of the mediterranean being “The first systematic natural history of the Holy Land” (Blackmer). Here Hasselquist described his travels, observations on the natural world, and encounters with various cultures and peoples along the way. Hasselquist was a student of Linné, who oversaw publication of the work following Hasselquist's death in 1752. Fredrik Hasselquist (1722-1752) was a Swedish naturalist and explorer known for his contributions to botany and zoology. He was born in Törnevalla, Sweden, and studied at Uppsala University, where he developed an interest in natural history. His observations during his travels significantly contributed to the understanding of the flora and fauna of the Levant. Hasselquist died of fever in Smyrna (present-day Izmir, Turkey) in 1752, at the age of 30. Despite his short life his work laid the foundation for future botanical and zoological studies in the region. Soulsby 3577.‎
