 | | The Origin of Species by Darwin, Charles View in context | | | These facts seemed to me to throw some light on the origin of species--that mystery of mysteries, as it has been called by one of our greatest philosophers. | | | While our family has followed the general human law in the matter just mentioned, it forms a marked exception to the rule that so absolutely controls all of white blood, on this continent, in what relates to immigration and territorial origin. |

| | The Origin may refer to Charles Darwin's 1859 book The Origin of Species | | | The origin of something (from the Latin origo, "beginning") is where it came from, in the sense of a physical location or a metaphysical source. | | | Origin (mathematics), the point where the coordinate axis of the system intersect. |

| | This view contrasts with the single origin hypothesis, which holds that modern Homo sapiens evolved from a single, geographically localised, ancestral hominid population, whose descendants ultimately replaced all other species of hominids over the course of tens of thousands of years without interbreeding or subspeciation. | | | Nevertheless, proponents of multiregionalism such as Wolpoff believe the molecular data can be reconciled with the multiregional origin hypothesis, and may even support it. | | | For instance, in 2001, a team of Chinese scientists wrote: "all Y-chromosome samples from China, with no exception, were originally derived from a lineage of African origin. |

| | For imports, this proposed policy does not affect aquaculture- produced caviar or caviar harvested from the wild after April 1, 1998, which will continue to be allowed with a valid CITES export permit from the country of origin or a valid CITES re-export certificate from the country of re-export. | | | Therefore, all international shipments of sturgeon and paddlefish specimens or their parts and products, including caviar, made on or after April 1, 1998, must include a valid CITES export permit, re-export certificate, or pre-Convention certificate, which shows that the CITES treaty is being followed. | | | We have issued pre-Convention certificates for the re-export of caviar only when we were satisfied that it was imported before April 1, 1998. |

| | An alternative view of the origin of sympatric species relies on the theory of allopatric speciation wherein a daughter species evolved from a parental species as an allopatric population and secondarily came into contact with the parental species through migration into its home range. | | | ORIGIN OF SYMPATRIC SPECIES Species which live together in the same area at the same time, i.e., that are sympatric and synchronic, tend to be clearly differentiated in morphology, ecology and reproductive behavior. | | | So common are congeneric species (closely related species which are included in the same genus) which are always sympatric that some biologists have argued that they must have evolved while part of the same species population (sympatric speciation). |

| | Review of The Origin of Species 1867 |
| | But this theory of the origin of species is surely not the Darwinian theory; it simply amounts to the hypothesis that, from time to time, an animal is born differing appreciably from its progenitors, and possessing the power of transmitting the difference to its descendants. | | | Darwin as sufficient to account for the origin of species has been received as probably, and even as certainly true, by many who from their knowledge of physiology, natural history, and geology, are competent to form an intelligent opinion. | | | Nor is it surprising that newly discovered species and varieties should almost invariably occupy an intermediate position between some already known, since the number of varieties of one species, or the number of possible species, can only be indefinitely increased by admitting varieties or species possessing indefinitely small differences one from another. |

| | species - definition of species by the Free Online Dictionary, Thesaurus and Encyclopedia. |
| | In considering the Origin of Species, it is quite conceivable that a naturalist, reflecting on the mutual affinities of organic beings, on their embryological relations, their geographical distribution, geological succession, and other such facts, might come to the conclusion that each species had not been independently created, but had descended, like varieties, from other species. | | | Metaphor is the application of an alien name by transference either from genus to species, or from species to genus, or from species to species, or by analogy, that is, proportion Thus from genus to species, as: 'There lies my ship'; for lying at anchor is a species of lying. | | | For instance, the individual man is included in the species 'man', and the genus to which the species belongs is 'animal'; these, therefore-that is to say, the species 'man' and the genus 'animal,-are termed secondary substances. |
