| Summary |
"Facts and Arguments for Darwin" by Fritz Müller is a scientific publication written in the mid-19th century. The work aims to support Charles Darwin's theory of natural selection by providing empirical observations and arguments, particularly related to the classification and morphology of Crustacea. The opening of the book introduces the translator's and author's prefaces, which set the stage for Müller's intention to gather and present facts that corroborate Darwin's theories rather than delve into debates about them. Müller outlines his approach to analyzing Crustacea, proposing that by investigating specific examples from this group, he can affirm the validity of Darwin's concepts about the evolution of species. He notes the importance of establishing genealogical trees to visualize the relationships and evolutionary paths among different species within Crustacea, thereby emphasizing the significance of data over mere theoretical discussion.
