		Edward Blyth (December 23, 1810 - December 27, 1873) was an English zoologist and chemist.
		Blyth was the son of a clothier and he initially worked as a druggist but quit in 1837 to seek a living as an author and editor.
		Blyth wrote three major articles on variation, discussing the effects of artificial selection and describing the process of natural selection as restoring organisms in the wild to their archetype (rather than forming new species).

	Chrono-Biographical Sketch: Edward Blyth
		In his day Blyth was considered one of the leading zoologists in India, and a prominent figure overall in his field.
		All of this is largely forgotten today, and instead he is best known for his early (1835) recognition of some of the principles of natural selection--made not only long before Darwin and Wallace went to print, but even before the former first came up with the concept.
		Blyth, however, did not see the ramifications of the principle (nor did anyone else), and did little to develop his thoughts any further.

	evilution is good for you: Pre-Darwinists (4) Edward Blyth
		Blyth correctly saw the concept of natural selection as a mechanism by which the sick, old and unfit were removed from a population; that is, as a preserving factor and for the maintenance of the status quo—the created kind [Wieland, C. Muddy waters: Clarifying the confusion about natural selection].
		Blyth begins by noting that the word 'variety' is "very commonly misapplied to individuals of a species, which are merely undergoing a regular natural change, either progressing from youth to maturity, or gradually shifting, according to fixed laws, their colours with the seasons".
		Blyth suggests that such a deviation, that is a true variety, "most probably, could only be restored, in a direct manner, by the way in which the variety was first produced," whereby he would most likely have meant a new deviation to counter the first one.

	Darwin's precursors and influences: 4. Natural selection
		Edward Blyth had also published a natural selection theory in 1837, but he argued against transmutation of species because if it occurred it would destroy species' integrity: "we should seek in vain for those constant and invariable distinctions which are found to obtain"
		Interestingly, Blyth was one of the authors who Darwin mentioned to Wallace when responding to his 1855 paper.
		Eiseley's argument that Darwin had borrowed from Blyth based on of a similarity in terminology has been disproven, on the grounds that Darwin used the term before he could have read Blyth, and because Darwin had clearly developed some of the focal planks of his theory by that point, observations made in rebuttal by Beddall

	Edward Blyth
		When Blyth died in London on December 27, 1873, found among his papers was a fragment of an old manuscript that he had once been preparing, titled "On the Origination of Species".
		First of all, Blyth did not believe in evolution, he did not believe that all life descended from a common ancestor, but he believed in separately created kinds, as spoken of in the book of Genesis from which all variations among species were derived from.
		These are some of the very important differences between Blyth's majestic vision of God's beautiful creation and of man's role to play in it contrasted with Darwin's evolutionary theories of some furtive creature struggling to survive by eliminating his competitors as they ascend out of primordial slime.

		In 1835, twenty-four years before Charles Darwin published his masterpiece, The Origin of Species Edward Blyth published his for, The Magazine of Natural History.
		According to his paper it was clear that Blyth held the view that species could be modified over time and that, "the stronger must always prevail over the weaker."

		Edward Blyth also showed why natural selection would limit an organism’s characteristics to only slight deviations from those of all its ancestors.
		Twenty-four years later, Darwin tried to refute Blyth’s explanation in a chapter in The Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection (24 November 1859).

		Edward Blyth (1810-1873) was an active researcher in various areas of natural history, especially ornithology.
		Blyth's connection with natural selection is based largely on two papers he published in the Magazine of Natural History in 1835 and 1837.
		In fact, Blyth was very traditional in terms of his theological and philosophical views, and he was describing the process by which, as he saw it, the characteristics of a species remained fixed.

		Blyth attempts to show how these ideas can be used to explain, not the change of species which he was anxious to discredit, but the stability of species in which he ardently believed.
		In the course of his argument Blyth closely examines each of the problems which was to occupy Darwin's mind during the following forty years: blending inheritance as against mutation, the inheritance of acquired characters, geographical isolation, geological successions, island faunas, the origin of instinct and so on.
		Blyth, whom he does not cite, was employed far away in Calcutta from 1841 to 1862.

	Was Blyth the true scientist and Darwin merely a plagiarist and charlatan? \| Uncommon Descent
		Blyth was published in the scientific journals, and did convince his peers concerning the importance of natural selection and common descent in the divergence of varieties within species.
		Blyth was a contemporary naturalist who spent much of his working life in India and who regularly corresponded with Darwin.
		However, Blyth contended that natural selection would tend to conserve species, and this can be taken as a reason for Darwin’s omitting any reference to him in the historical introduction he added to the third edition of The Origin.

		I find it very odd that a word that entered the English language in the mid-19th century has no etymology (an official word, as it were, and not a slang term); I can only surmise that the word is simultaneously obscure and banal-sounding enough that it has not attracted the attention of etymologists.

	Proto-evolutionary biologists - Protoscience
		There seems to be a creationist idea that Darwin nicked the idea of natural selection from Edward Blyth, who was a creationist.
		However, the challenge would be to point to a published article that existed before those of Darwin and Wallace that coherently expressed the idea of a fundamental role for natural selection in the origin of new species.
		Blyth wrote things like, "The original form of a species is unquestionably better adapted to its natural habits than any modification of that form." (see) Darwin was able to escape from this kind of thinking about species as fixed forms.
