For anyone who has read Darwin, do you know where this part that Ray refers to would be found?
Do you think he's referring to the "naturalization hypothesis"?
eg "Darwin's naturalization hypothesis predicts that invasive species should perform better in their novel range in the absence of close relatives in the native flora due to reduced competition. " from A phylogenetic analysis of the British flora sheds light on the evolutionary and ecological factors driving plant invasions
or "“The Origin of Species,” Charles Darwin wrote that we shouldn’t be surprised by native species “being beaten and supplanted by the naturalised productions from another land.”
Darwin reasoned that these victories were inevitable. Different species might adapt to a particular ecological niche in different parts of the world. Put them in the same place, in the same niche, and one might well outcompete the other because it has evolved superior attributes." from Turning to Darwin to Solve the Mystery of Invasive Species
Mainly wondering whether/where Darwin specifically said English species would beat out foreign ones.
Thanks
Ray Peat said:you can see that tendency in Darwin, the way he considered that even botanical species from England were going to displace native species in New Zealand for example or why white people were displacing the brown people, just real imperialistic racist.
