EDITORS COMMENTS
Figure 18: A Line Drawing of Darwin's Darwins Pigeons, English Pouter from Variation in Animals and Plants under Domestication by Charles Darwin (1868) This line drawing, Figure 18, is an original illustration from Charles Darwin's groundbreaking book, Variation in Animals and Plants under Domestication, published in 1868. The illustration depicts an English Pouter, also known as a fancy domestic pigeon, with its distinctive plump body and fanned tail feathers. This bird is a descendant of the common rock pigeon (Columba livia), also known as the feral pigeon or the rock dove. Darwin's extensive research on the variation and selection in domesticated animals and plants led him to examine the physical differences between various breeds of pigeons. In his book, he discusses the English Pouter as an example of the "artificial selection" that humans have practiced for centuries to create new breeds with desirable traits. The Sauropsida classification, to which pigeons belong, is a group of reptiles and birds. The term "Sauropsid" is derived from the Greek words "sauros," meaning lizard, and "opsis," meaning face. This classification system, which was proposed by German naturalist Johann Baptist von Linné in 1731, was widely accepted during Darwin's time and is still used today. This intriguing line drawing not only showcases the beauty and diversity of the English Pouter but also serves as a historical record of Darwin's influential work in the fields of biology and evolutionary theory.
