The Preservation of Favoured Traces [Processing]

origins00

Created by Ben Fry, The Preservation of Favoured Traces is a processing application and a infographic of changes made to Darwin's On the Origin of Species by the man himself over the course of 13 years separating first and last edition. The first English edition was approximately 150,000 words and the sixth is a much larger 190,000 words. For example the last, 6th edition included a chapter completely rewritten and others show not only visible changes to the text but also demonstrate shifts in ideas.
