Abstract
Darwin's work on the origin of the species provides splendid material for both the historian of science and the specialist in the psychology; it also provides insight into the logic of scientific creativity, primarily because the Darwin legacy—collected, published, and commented upon by numerous specialists—is an extremely variegated reflection of Darwin's work in creating his theory of the origin of the species. The legacy includes notebooks from a number of years, diaries, manuscripts of essays, correspondence with his scientific adversaries and friends, and autobiographical materials.1 Study of his personality and of characteristics of his scientific outlook began while Darwin was still alive. In particular, he answered Galton's survey questions on characteristics of his mind and personality. The numerous memoirs of his contemporaries are also an inseparable part of this legacy.
