What is The place of man in the development of Darwin's theory of transmutation: Part I. To July 1837 about?

This article forms the first half of an essay on the place of man in Charles Darwin's exploration of the species question. The second half of the essay will appear in a future issue of this journal. The following portion of the essay carries the discussion to the spring of 1837, the date when Darwin first affirmed a transmutationist position. In it I try to show that the subject of man was not one of those lines of inquiry which drew Darwin to transmutationist conclusions, and, conversely, to suggest what sorts of inquiries did lead him to such conclusions. The argument is organized as follows: Part I. Darwin's views on man prior to 1837: (a) orientation toward religion, politics, and career as an undergraduate; (b) observations on man during the voyage of the Beagle; (c) personal change of mind. Part II. Sources of Darwin's conversion to a transmutationist position: (a) evidence of notes dating from the voyage; (b) Darwin's Ornithological Notes and related lists; (c) the role of professional zoologists; and, (d) composition of the Journal of Researches.
