In my February 2012 article, "Darwin's Invention:
Inheritance & the 'Mad Dream' of Pangenesis"
(American Biology Teacher 74, 86-91), I inadvertently combined one of
the Darwin quotes with commentary of mine. The quote should not have
included the phrase "[O]rgans frequently used for a purpose are
selected ... in successive generations." The actual statement from
Darwin on page 371 of Variation of Plants and Animals Under
Domestication (1868) reads: How again, can we explain to ourselves the inherited effects of the use of disuse of particular organs? The domesticated duck flies less and walks more than the wild duck, and its limb-bones have become ... diminished and increased in comparison with those of the wild duck.
